Tracheo-oesophageal groove Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting as stridor: a diagnostic challenge.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 38-year-old male patient presented to the ear, nose and throat department with shortness of breath over last 2 months. The CT scan of the neck and chest revealed a 3.3×3 cm tumour behind the right thyroid lobe extending into the tracheo-oesophageal (TO) groove with tracheal compression. The ultrasound scan of the neck and targeted fine needle aspiration followed by core biopsy raised a suspicion of Hodgkin's lymphoma. The patient underwent a right hemithyroidectomy and incisional biopsy of the right TO groove tumour. The histology confirmed a Hasenclever's three nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's lymphoma for which he received adjuvant chemotherapy. An incidental pT1a pN0 thyroid papillary microcarcinoma in the adjacent thyroid parenchyma was completely excised. This represents a case of TO Hodgkin's lymphoma, of which there are no current published case reports. We aim to raise awareness about this rare condition by sharing the diagnostic work up and successful management in a multidisciplinary team setting.
