Acute thyroid swelling after fine needle aspiration-a case report of a rare complication and a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundThyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) is the procedure of choice in the management of thyroid nodules. Acute thyroid swelling after FNA is a rare complication and is reported in a finite number of literatures. To the best of our knowledge, only seven reported cases exist in literatures. This study describes an addition case with an acute thyroid swelling after FNA, as well as puts forward a new hypothesis of this phenomenon. CASE PRESENTATION: The case is presented of a 30-year-old female with an acute thyroid swelling after FNA, with funicular hypoechoic lesions in thyroid gland. The size of thyroid was 1.5-fold enlarged in the unilateral thyroid gland. No complains of pain or other discomforts with her and no signs of hemorrhage were found along the passage of the fine needle. The episode was recovered spontaneously.
conclusionsAn acute thyroid swelling is a rare complication of FNA. A hypothesis of anaphylactic reaction was suggested in our study. Physicians should pay more attention of this phenomenon and more information is needed to support our hypothesis.
