Curative surgery for anaplastic thyroid carcinoma: A case report.

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
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma accounts for 3%-4% of thyroid malignancies worldwide and is aggressive in nature with a median survival of 6 months at diagnosis. A 67-year-old lady with a hard goitre presented with compressive symptoms and mild hypothyroidism. Ultrasound scan revealed a Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System 5 lesion with suspicious left-sided cervical lymphadenopathy. Anaplastic carcinoma was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. Left-sided thyroid tumour with possible carotid sheath infiltration and left-sided cervical lymphadenopathy was seen on contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the neck. She underwent total thyroidectomy with therapeutic bilateral selective central and lateral cervical lymphadenectomy. Involvement of the aero-digestive tract and carotid sheath was not observed intra-operatively. Histology reported anaplastic carcinoma with deposits of papillary carcinoma in affected lymph nodes. Oncological management was commenced thereafter. Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma usually presents as advanced disease. However, current guidelines suggest a multimodal approach comprising of curative surgery whenever feasible with adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. For patients with stage IV
