Unexpected arteriovenous malformation of the thyroid resulting in significant intraoperative blood loss.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
A 49-year-old morbidly obese woman with metastatic endometrial carcinoma was referred for evaluation of an incidentally identified large right thyroid nodule found on computed tomography performed for cancer evaluation. Ultrasound revealed a 9.7 cm solid isoechoic homogeneous right thyroid nodule. Fine needle aspiration was benign. Given size, resection was recommended following completion of chemotherapy and radiation. At the time of right thyroid lobectomy, extremely large vessels were encountered, and the procedure was complicated by estimated blood loss of 2 L. Final pathology revealed a large, benign adenomatous nodule and vascular features consistent with arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Unlike previously reported cases, the diagnosis of a thyroid AVM was not known preoperatively.
