Skeletal muscle metastases from papillary and follicular thyroid carcinomas: An extensive review of the literature.
Article in Oncology letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle metastasis of papillary or follicular thyroid cancer (PTC/FTC) is a rare finding; only 11 cases of skeletal muscle PTC or FTC metastasis have been included in medical literature reviews. The aim of this study was to identify all published cases of PTC and FTC muscle metastases and derive the true incidence of this malignancy. The probability of detecting the skeletal muscle metastasis of PTC and FTC was calculated based on epidemiological data. Databases of scientific literature on the Internet were searched for articles using relevant key words. The analysis of epidemiological data calculated the probability of detecting skeletal muscle lesions of this type as approximately zero. The literature search revealed 44 published international papers, reporting 58 cases of PTC or FTC skeletal muscle metastasis in 45 patients over 110 years, from 1907 to 2017. The most frequent PTC/FTC metastatic muscle was the gluteus. The majority of cases of muscle metastasis were caused by PTC, and metastatic tumors in the skeletal muscle negatively impacted the survival of patients with PTC or FTC.
