Bilateral papillary thyroid cancer with normal aberrant thyroid tissue.

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
Ectopic thyroid tissue, 90% presenting in lingual zone, is often scanned by ultra-sonography or computed tomography. Most surgeons regard ectopic thyroid as metastatic foci from thyroid cancer, thus resection is recommended. Here, we reported a man with bilateral papillary thyroid cancer, accompany with normal ectopic thyroid tissue in right sternocleidomastoid muscle. In this case, we highlighted: (i) It is rarely reported that ectopic normal thyroid tissue presented in sternocleidomastoid muscle. (ii) The ectopic thyroid tissue may not always be metastatic foci even though bilateral thyroid tumors were confirmed to be papillary cancer. (iii) Contrary to radical excision of all ectopic thyroid tissue, we advocate that only patients who need to receive the radioactive iodine therapy after total thyroidectomy should remove the ectopic normal thyroid tissue.
