Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Presented as Autonomous Functioning Thyroid Nodule: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

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
Follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC) presented as an autonomous functioning thyroid nodule is a rare finding. We reported a case of 70-year-old male presented with complaints of palpitation and heat intolerance. On palpation, we found a thyroid nodule of 4 cm in the left lobe. Thyroid function tests revealed hyperthyroidism, and radioactive iodine uptake scan (RAIU) showed increased uptake in the left lobe consistent with a hot nodule. The probability of the benign nature of hyperfunctioning thyroid nodule discussed but patient requested further workup to rule out any remote possibility of thyroid cancer. We performed a fine needle aspiration (FNA), and the cytological examination suggested the possibility of thyroid carcinoma. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy, and histological examination revealed follicular architecture with nuclear features of papillary carcinoma in 1 cm area of the thyroid nodule. In the review of the literature, we identified the following seven cases of FVPTC arising within a hyperfunctioning thyroid nodule.
