1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

rationaleAnaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare highly aggressive thyroid malignancy. Thyroid sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia is also a rare low grade malignant thyroid neoplasm. To date, comorbidity of these 2 tumors in the thyroid gland has not been reported in the English literature. PATIENT CONCERNS: Here, we present a case of a 67-year-old women with a 6-month history of mass of left neck. She complained of a painless mass in the right neck. DIAGNOSES: Based on histopathological examination of H&E stained sections, immunohistochemical staining assay and molecular tests, the patient was diagnosed with ATC combined with sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia.

interventionsThe patient underwent radical surgery for thyroid cancer. OUTCOMES: No complications, local recurrence or metastases were observed during a 1 year and 3 months follow-up after surgery. LESSONS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report on ATC combined with sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia in the English literature. This condition can be easily misdiagnosed during thyroid fine needle cytology. Clinicians should perform morphological examination, immunohistochemistry and molecular tests on resected specimen to make a definitive diagnosis.
