Large Thyroglossal Duct Cyst: A Case Report.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
BACKGROUND Thyroglossal duct cysts are the most common congenital neck cysts. They typically present in childhood and early adulthood, and average a size of 2-4 cm, but can also present in later adult life. CASE REPORT We present a case of a 36-year-old female patient with a very large midline neck mass, reaching the mandible superiorly. Patient history and physical examination, as well as computed tomography scan of her neck, confirmed the diagnosis of large thyroglossal duct cyst. She underwent Sistrunk procedure for thyroglossal duct cyst excision, and the specimen was sent for histopathological evaluation, which confirmed the diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Thyroglossal duct cyst should be considered as a differential diagnosis in older patients and in patients with a relatively large neck mass.
