Pathologic Doppelgänger: Thyroid-like intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with synchronous primary thyroid carcinoma in a young woman.

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
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) accounts for 8-10% of all malignant liver tumors. Preponderance for elderly males and occurrence of varied morphological patterns in ICC is well known. Recent reports have described a newly recognized variant of thyroid-like cholangiocarcinoma. Herein, we present a hitherto unreported synchronous occurrence of an intrahepatic thyroid-like cholangiocarcinoma and a separate thyroid carcinoma in a 23-year-old post-partum woman. Both tumors displayed striking resemblance to follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC) however exhibited disparate immunohistochemical profiles: the intrahepatic tumor was positive for CK7 and CK19, and negative for TTF-1, PAX-8 and thyroglobulin whereas, the thyroid tumor was positive for TTF-1, thyroglobulin and PAX-8. Young age, female proclivity, large mass at presentation and unique histology in thyroid-like ICC hint towards a distinctive subset of ICC. Awareness and recognition of this rare entity is essential, not only for accurate diagnosis, but also for gathering information on its biology and clinical behavior. Synchronous occurrence with a FVPTC is a challenging scenario that can simulate metastatic disease and mislead subsequent patient management. Whether morphologic similarity points to an underlying linkage between the two different tumors needs exploration.
