Ultrasonographic characteristics of thyroid metastasis from clear cell renal cell carcinoma: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 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
introductionThyroid metastasis from clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a very rare condition, and its ultrasonographic characteristics have not been summarized in the literature. We herein report a case of thyroid metastasis from ccRCC that occurred 11 years after the surgery and the ultrasonographic characteristics of it are described. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 57-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital in September 2018 due to discomfort in the neck. No other abnormalities were found during laboratory examination of thyroid function. The previous medical history of the patient included a right nephrectomy for the treatment of ccRCC in June 2007. DIAGNOSIS: Ultrasound examinations revealed multiple thyroid nodules. After nephrectomy, there was no obvious abnormality in the right renal area. Computed tomography (CT) showed an oval lesion with slightly lower density in the right lobe of the thyroid, and the patient was initially diagnosed with nodular goiter.
interventionsBilateral partial thyroidectomy under general anesthesia was conducted. Intraoperative frozen pathological examination showed clear cell carcinoma in the right lobe of the thyroid gland. Therefore, total thyroidectomy and lymph node dissection in the central neck area were performed. OUTCOMES: The patient underwent surgical treatment and recovered successfully. The patient was followed up for 2 years with no further metastasis.
conclusionUltrasound examination is a safe and convenient screening method. For patients with a renal malignant tumor, if the ultrasound image of thyroid nodule is found to have the characteristics of malignant tumors, the occurrence of metastasis of renal cancer to the thyroid should be highly suspected. Core needle biopsy (CNB) and histopathological diagnosis should be conducted subsequently for early diagnosis.
