Multisession CyberKnife Radiosurgery for Advanced Follicular Thyroid Cancer.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 thyroid cancer is a slow-progressing cancer with better prognosis than other types of thyroid cancer. However, treatment for metastatic cancer is very difficult. We treated 11 patients of advanced follicular thyroid cancer with multiple metastases with stereotactic body radiotherapy using the CyberKnife. Of the total 83 lesions that we treated, 53 had complete remission (64%), 28 had partial remission (34%), and two had progressive disease (2%). The complications were minimal. For those patients not indicated for chemotherapy, multisession CyberKnife radiosurgery is a viable option for the treatment of post-surgery recurrent or metastatic follicular thyroid cancer.
