Thyroid collision tumors; A case series with literature review.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Collision tumors are two histologically distinct types of malignancies within the same mass and organ. The aim of this study is to present a case series of thyroid collisions. Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective case series study. The participants were consecutive in order. Socio-demographic and clinical data were obtained from hospital records. Results: The study included eight cases comprising six (75%) females and two (25%) males. The patients had different presentations, including neck swelling, dyspnea, and dizziness. The pathology was successfully determined through fine-needle aspiration. Four patients (50%) underwent lobectomy, whereas the other half (four patients) underwent total thyroidectomy. Conclusion: Collision tumors of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTA) or medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and FTA are exceedingly rare phenomena that most commonly affect females. Complete or partial thyroidectomy is the ideal management of choice for these cases and is associated with good survival.
