Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma presenting as a thyroid mass: an unusual case report and literature review.
Review in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Thyroid follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is an extremely rare malignancy that originates from follicular dendritic cells of the germinal centers and is characterized by the neoplastic proliferation of spindled to ovoid cells. As there have been only five cases reported in the literature until now, the diagnostic and therapeutic information available to clinicians regarding thyroid FDCS is fairly limited. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of thyroid FDCS without a history of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. A 48-year-old woman was found to have a slow-growing mass in the left thyroid. After total thyroidectomy and left modified radical neck dissection, the specimen demonstrated morphologic and immunohistochemical features of FDCS. The patient had a favorable prognosis with no evidence of disease 11 months after tumor excision.
