Management of a Spontaneous Thyroid Nodule Hemorrhage Causing Acute Airway Obstruction.
Article in Turkish archives of otorhinolaryngology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Spontaneous intrathyroidal hemorrhage (ITH) causing airway obstruction is relatively rare. We report a case with no known history of a thyroid disease that presented with an ITH causing severe airway obstruction as a life-threatening situation. A 57-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department with sudden onset of swelling of the anterior neck, severe dyspnea, and unconsciousness. Computerized tomography scan after intubation revealed a 6.2x5.3 cm mass originating from the right thyroid lobe and compressing the airway. Drainage of hematoma with right lobectomy was done. When the patient was extubated one day after the surgery the vocal cords were found to be mobile. She was discharged after two days and there was no need for further intervention during the one-month follow-up. Spontaneous life-threatening ITHs are rare entities. Immediate assessment of airway obstruction and achieving a secure airway are crucial. Besides drainage of hematoma, thyroidectomy may also be necessary.
