Adrenocortical Oncocytic Carcinoma and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Incidentally Detected in an Asymptomatic Patient by F-18 FDG PET/CT.
Article in Asia Oceania journal of nuclear medicine & biology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
F-18 FDG is the most widely used tracer in molecular imaging and it is applied for many purposes mainly in malignant diseases. Incidental finding are common in FDG-PET/CT imaging and includes benign and malignant lesions. Among the rare tumors, adrenal oncocytomas are uncommon findings and incidental findings of thyroid malignancies are not rare. Oncocytoma is a rare adrenocortical tumor and majority of bulky adrenal tumors are benign with uncertain incident of malignancy. In this study, we are reporting a 37-year-old man with two incidental malignancies detected by FDG-PET-CT. He has no symptoms has no blood and hormonal abnormalities. The scan demonstrated intense heterogeneous FDG uptake within the bulky oval shaped lesion in the left adrenal gland. Accordingly, open adrenalectomy was performed and diagnosis of adrenocortical carcinoma oncocytic type was established. Furthermore, a focal FDG uptake was identified in the right thyroid lobe and histopathology findings were consistent with well-differentiated papillary thyroid cancer. FDG plays a great role in identifying primary rare lesions and also detection of incidental findings at unexpected sites.
