A rare case of follicular thyroid carcinoma metastasis to the sacral region: A case report with literature review.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionFollicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is the second most common thyroid cancer subtype after papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), and it accounts for approximately 10% of all thyroid cancers, the incidence of distant metastasis in FTC has been reported to be 6-20%, bones and lungs are the most frequent sites of distant metastases. Most occult thyroid carcinomas are papillary carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe an extremely rare case of a 74-year-old woman who had a history of right thyroid lobectomy 20 years ago, was referred to our hospital for metastatic thyroid follicular carcinoma to the sacral region confirmed by the biopsy of the sacral mass. The patient was treated by analgesic radiotherapy, surgical totalisation of thyroidectomy, and Radioactive Iodine, with thyroid replacement by levothyroxine. In the follow up we noticed a significant symptom reduction leading to a much better quality of life.
conclusionIncreasing importance should be given to rare metastases in DTP patients. Early detection will help in the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease, thereby improving the patient's survival rate and quality of life.
