Coexistence of thyroglossal duct cyst and second branchial cleft cyst in a young woman: A case report and 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 2 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
introductionThyroglossal cysts represent 70% of congenital neck anomalies, and second branchial cleft anomalies are the most common anomalies (90%) of the branchial apparatus. However, their coexistence, especially in adults, is very rare. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 23-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of lateral left neck swelling and midline swelling. Imaging and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a thyroglossal duct cyst and a second branchial cleft cyst. The Sistrunk procedure was performed for surgical excision of the masses. DISCUSSION: Only three cases of a coexisting thyroglossal duct cyst and branchial cleft have been reported.
conclusionWhen encountering patients, even adults, with neck lesions, clinicians must keep in mind the possibility of a coexistence of a thyroglossal duct and a branchial cleft cyst.
