Parotid metastases from thyroid carcinomas.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Parotid metastases (PMs) that originate from thyroid carcinomas (TCs) are extremely rare, and many questions about their diagnosis and management remain unanswered. Of the 15,780 patients with TC that we had prospectively recorded in our institutional databases between 1996 and 2015, we retrospectively retrieved only three patients (0.019%) with PM. Patient characteristics, histological findings on initial thyroidectomy and parotidectomy specimens, treatments, and times of recurrence and death were reviewed. In addition, we searched PubMed, Embase, and ISI Web of Science databases (1996-2015) for articles published in the English language using the key words "parotid" and "thyroid", and reviewed almost all reports that described PM that were derived from TC. These rare cases of thyroid carcinoma presenting as metastasis in the parotid gland highlight the importance of maintaining close communication between clinicians, radiologists, and histopathologists to ensure that such rare cases are not missed.
