1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionPapillary carcinoma originating from a thyroglossal cyst is rare and peculiar, with majority of cases detected after surgery. Despite an excellent prognosis, its management remains controversial. Herein, we report the case of a 53-year-old woman who underwent Sistrunk procedure for a thyroglossal duct cyst and was subsequently confirmed to have papillary thyroid carcinoma. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 53-year-old woman presented with an anterior midline neck mass for 7 years. The patient had no symptoms of hypo-or hyperthyroidism. Additionally, she had no history of compressive symptoms. Neck ultrasound revealed a well-defined 3.5 cm × 2.2 cm × 3 cm-sized cystic lesion inferior to the hyoid bone, with a peripheral solid component. Neck computed tomography revealed a well-defined 3.7 cm × 3.4 cm × 2.7 cm-sized cystic lesion with an enhanced central solid component with focal calcifications, inferior to the hyoid bone, and in contact with the anterior wall of the thyroid cartilage. Sistrunk procedure was performed. The patient was then diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma with TNM stage pT2 and underwent total thyroidectomy as a follow-up procedure. DISCUSSION: Thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma is usually detected in the fourth decade of life with a higher prevalence in women. Neck ultrasound is performed during the initial radiological workup to assess the cyst and confirm the presence of the thyroid gland.

conclusionThe Sistrunk procedure is highly effective in low-risk patients. A more aggressive approach is required for high-risk patients.
