Primary Diffuse B-Cell Thyroid Lymphoma: Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Case reports in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundPrimary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is a rare disease, accounting for 5% of all thyroid malignancies. Diffuse B-cell lymphoma (DBCL) is the most common type of PTL. The diagnosis of PTL depends on biopsy results, and its management depends on the histological type. CASE PRESENTATION: A 66-year-old female complained of a huge neck mass on the right side that had started growing 3 months previously and was associated with compressive and B symptoms. She had undergone left hemithyroidectomy 20 years previously. On examination, a huge neck mass measuring 10 × 6 cm was detected on the right side that had shifted the trachea to the contralateral side. CT scanning revealed a huge soft tissue mass in the neck with compressive signs. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) showed variably sized lymphocytes and large epithelial cells with occasional atypical cells. Tissue biopsy revealed DBCL, which is suggestive of PTL. DISCUSSION: PTL affects only the thyroid gland and the regional lymph nodes. Most PTL originate from B cells, especially DBCL, which accounts for 50-80% of all PTL. FNA may have limited capability to differentiate between anaplastic carcinoma of the thyroid and thyroid lymphoma. If FNA fails to determine PTL tissue, it should be determined using biopsy. A multidisciplinary approach is the best management technique for PTL. Radiotherapy, surgery, or both can be used for local control, while chemotherapy can be used for disseminated or hidden disease.
conclusionTissue biopsy is needed to exclude other differential diagnoses, whereas a multidisciplinary approach is needed to manage PTL.
