Unusual Thyroid Nodule: A Case of Symptomatic Thyroid Schwannoma.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Primary thyroid schwannoma is a sporadic non-epithelial tumor of the thyroid gland. Most previous cases reported in the literature presented it as an asymptomatic neck mass. In this report, we describe a rare case of thyroid schwannoma in a 33-year-old female, presented as a left-side neck swelling, accompanied by a change in voice and difficulty swallowing. An ultrasound of the mass showed a large heterogeneous, predominantly cystic, nodule; in contrast to the usual predominantly solid nodule described in the literature. After several pre-operative diagnostic tests, including fine needle aspiration (FNA), the diagnosis remained unclear. In the end, the patient underwent a successful surgical excision of the mass, and the diagnosis of schwannoma was confirmed based on the histopathologic examination which revealed both type A and B Antoni cells as well as positive staining for S-100 protein.
