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

Primary Burkitt lymphoma of the thyroid is an extremely rare entity with only a few reported cases. A female patient in her 70s with Hashimoto's thyroiditis presented with a 2-month history of progressive left-sided neck swelling. Ultrasound examination revealed a multinodular goitre and fine needle aspiration (FNA) showed no signs of malignancy. The rapid growth of the thyroid mass raised the concern of a lymphoproliferative process. After left thyroid lobectomy and histopathological examination, the diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma was made and the patient was included in a randomised study providing chemotherapy following a dose adjusted EPOCH-R regimen. Clinical remission was reached after 6 cycles of chemotherapy. There were no signs of relapse on follow-up, 1.5 years after the end of the treatment. Fast growing thyroid nodules in HT warrant a high index of suspicion. Despite no signs of malignancy after FNA cytology, these nodules may need further investigations.
