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

The simultaneous occurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the thyroid gland is extremely rare, and many questions about their diagnosis and treatment remain unsolved. We report three cases of patients with both PTC and MALT thyroid lymphoma in the setting of Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT). Patient characteristics, pre-operative examination, histological findings, treatments, and follow-up were reviewed. In addition, we searched PubMed, Embase, and ISI Web of Science databases for articles published in the English language using the key words "lymphoma" and "thyroid", and we reviewed almost all the reports about simultaneous occurrence of PTC and MALT thyroid lymphoma. In conclusion, PTC and MALT thyroid lymphoma can exist concomitantly, especially in patients with longstanding HT. These rare cases highlight the importance of close communication between clinicians, histopathologists, and radiologists to ensure that such rare cases are not missed; a multidisciplinary approach and careful surveillance are also needed.
