Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma of the Thyroid Gland: A Systematic Review of the Literature.
Review in European thyroid journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveExtranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type of the thyroid gland is a rare indolent malignant disease encountered in approximately 0.5% of patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT). The purpose of the present systematic review was to accumulate the current evidence in the field. STUDY
designWe searched the Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials
resultsFourteen case series and 20 case reports were finally included in the present systematic review. Analysis of the patient data included in the published case reports suggested that the age at diagnosis of MALT lymphoma does no differ among males and females (64 [52.5-73] vs. 67 [60.5-72] years,
conclusionMALT lymphoma of the thyroid gland is a rare malignancy with an indolent course. The scarce data available in the literature preclude safe conclusions concerning the mode of treatment and follow-up of these patients. However, the combination of minimally invasive surgery and adjuvant therapy seems feasible. Moreover, an extended follow-up period is recommended.
