Liver resection for metastatic thyroid carcinoma. Case report and literature review.
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 2 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
Liver resection for metastatic cancer has become the standard of care for specific groups of patients, including noncolorectal non-neuroendocrine liver metastases (NCNNELM). Liver metastasis from differentiated thyroid carcinoma is considered rare, with an approximated frequency of 0.5%. We present a case of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) to the liver and literature review. Herein, we report a 72-year-old male that underwent formal left hepatectomy for 4.4 cm metastatic PTC generating left bile duct obstruction. Two months after, presented with multiple small lesions within the hepatic parenchyma and diffuse ductal dilatation of the right biliary system. Therefore, treated with a percutaneous biliary drain placement without complications. In a patient diagnosed with initial Stage II PTC, undergoing total thyroidectomy 10 years before presenting to the clinic. Bearing over a decade of treatments for local and distal recurrences. We believe approaching strategies for this specific disease should be developed to establish standard management.
