1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionHürthle cell adenoma is a rare benign lesion of the thyroid gland, however, controversies about its potential malignant behavior still remain. Among thyroid neoplasms, papillary carcinoma is the most common variant with great variety of histological subtypes demonstrating different biological behavior.

aimTo raise the awareness of possible coexistence of these two lesions and discussion about possible therapeutic approaches. CASE REPORT: A 42 year old female patient was examined because of the pain in the thyroid area. Cytological examination suggested Hürthle cell adenoma. Subsequently, right thyroid lobectomy was performed. Intraoperative frozen sections confirmed the diagnosis, yet final histological analysis revealed encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (EFVPTC), now reclassified as noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary- like nuclear features (NIFTP) within the adenoma, which was not noticed through scintigraphy, ultrasound, cytological and frozen section analysis.

conclusionsProblems concerning both diagnostic and therapeutic approach to these lesions are being discussed, since opinions reported in the literature are divided, posing great challenge for the clinician in determining adequate therapeutic procedures.
