Occult papillary thyroid carcinoma with cystic nodal metastasis mimicking a thyroglossal duct cyst: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2020. 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
introductionThe approach to the anterior neck lump involves the consideration of numerous benign and malignant differentials. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present a rare case of an occult papillary thyroid cancer with cystic nodal metastases presenting as a thyroglossal duct cyst. DISCUSSION: We explore the literature surrounding occult papillary thyroid carcinoma/microcarcinomas and the potential for the disease to present as a cervical lump. There is discussion surrounding the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties associated with this case, and the importance of lateral thinking and clinical flexibility.
conclusionWe recommend that the management approach to any anterior midline neck lump involve a comprehensive work-up including radiological imaging, routine histopathological analysis, and the early involvement of the subspecialty multidisciplinary team.
