Malignant glomus tumor of the thyroid gland: a case report.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivePrimary malignant glomus tumors of the thyroid gland are a rare occurrence.
methodsA 68-year-old man found a mass on the right side of his neck in October 2017. An X-ray examination on 9 January 2018 showed multiple round reinforced masses in both sides of the lung. Computed tomography imaging of the neck showed a low-density mass on the right side of the thyroid gland.
resultsThe immunohistochemistry results were positive for smooth muscle actin, calponin, collagen IV, and Ki-67 60%. The patient received chemotherapy starting on 17 January 2018, 8 February 2018, and 11 March 2018. The chemotherapy drugs included ifosfamide, epirubicin, and cisplatin. However, the patient subsequently developed multiple organ failure and died in April 2018, approximately 6 months after the initial discovery of the mass in his neck.
conclusionsPrimary malignant glomus tumors of the thyroid gland are rare, and examination of their pathology and immunohistochemistry is vital for making an accurate final diagnosis. This case also indicates that primary malignant glomus tumors of the thyroid gland may have a poor prognosis, despite chemotherapy.
