Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung and pulmonary metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe coexistence of malignancies in a patient may be explained by the tumor-to-tumor metastasis phenomenon or multiple primary malignant tumors, both of which are not common findings. Here, we are going to present a case with coexistent papillary thyroid carcinoma and primary squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. CASE PRESENTATION: A 36-year-old Iranian man presented to our clinic for evaluation of constitutional symptoms. His past medical history was significant for papillary thyroid carcinoma due to which he had undergone total thyroidectomy, cervical lymph node dissection, and radioactive iodine therapy 14 years ago. Six months prior to admission, he received radioactive iodine therapy due to the metastatic involvement of both lungs with papillary thyroid carcinoma in another center with consequent improvement in symptoms. Diffuse nodular lesions in both lungs, a lesion in the lower lobe of his left lung, not present 6 months ago, peritoneal carcinomatosis, and several para-aortic lymphadenopathies were detected by imaging studies. A radioactive iodine uptake scan, positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan, and transbronchial biopsy of the lesion in the lung revealed concurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the lung and pulmonary metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. After consultation with an oncologist, our patient received 6 months of chemotherapy; however, he died 8 months after presentation.
conclusionsPhysicians should be aware of the possibility of the emergence of primary malignancies in patients with a history of papillary thyroid carcinoma, especially lung cancer as it is a common site of papillary thyroid carcinoma metastases. Using appropriate diagnostic evaluations in order to choose the best therapeutic option is of utmost importance.
