Colon Cancer Metastatic to the Thyroid Gland in the Setting of Pathologically Diagnosed Papillary Thyroid Cancer: A Review and Report of a Case.
Article in Cureus, 2020. 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
Colon cancer metastases to the thyroid gland are a particularly rare occurrence. Despite the relative amenability of the gland to clinical, radiologic, and pathologic assessment, preoperative distinction between primary and secondary thyroid neoplastic processes remains difficult. Here we describe a case of a patient with a known history of stage IV colon cancer with multiple pulmonary metastases, presenting with a thyroid lesion initially diagnosed as papillary thyroid cancer on fine-needle aspiration biopsy but found to be metastatic colonic adenocarcinoma on post-thyroidectomy pathologic evaluation utilizing immunohistochemical techniques. A review of the literature is also included.
