Progressively Enlarging Goiter: Case Reports of Primary Thyroid Lymphoma and Literature Review.
Article in Current medical science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is an exceptionally rare and highly aggressive potentially curable malignant disease. We report three typical cases of PTL referred to our hospital. All three cases had long history of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and presented with progressively enlarging neck mass. The first two cases were confirmed by surgical biopsy to be diffuse large B cell lymphoma, and received radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy, or received only chemotherapy. The third case was confirmed by core needle biopsy to be mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and received radiotherapy. In summary, confirmation of PTL diagnosis is essential for further clinical decisions. Core biopsy should be one of the most important methods to make the diagnosis of PTL, while the use of fine needle aspiration cytology alone is still limited in diagnosing PTL.
