Solitary thyroid metastasis from colorectal cancer: Case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introduction and importanceThyroid metastasis of colorectal cancer is rare and the patient with thyroid metastasis has no symptoms early in the disease course. On the other hand, evaluation of thyroid is not generally included in the routine follow-up of colorectal cancer. Therefore, the diagnosis of thyroid metastasis of colorectal cancer may be delayed. PRESENTATION OF CASE: Chest computed tomography revealed a nodule on the right lobe of the thyroid in 53-year-old woman diagnosed with sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma. This nodule was identified having as increased metabolic activity by DISCUSSION: The clinical features of thyroid metastasis from colorectal cancer are not typical. In addition, follow-up examinations of patients with colorectal cancer do not include imaging studies of the neck, so the diagnosis of thyroid metastases is delayed. The management strategies for thyroid metastasis from colorectal cancer include a total thyroidectomy without prophylactic neck lymph node dissection and chemotherapy. However, as the penetration of chemotherapeutic drugs into the thyroid is difficult, the effect on the thyroid is considered insignificant.
conclusionSurgical treatment should be considered for treatment of thyroid metastasis.
