Perioperative management of a patient with a giant thyroglossal duct cyst: 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
Thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDC) are the most common type of congenital neck masses, which generally present in young adults. We present a rare case of a giant TGDC in a 77-year-old patient who required atypical perioperative management. The patient presented with a large soft mass on his anterior neck. Computed tomography showed a lobulated cystic mass measuring 18 × 16 cm, extending from the tongue base to the inferior level of the clavicle. Because difficult intubation was expected, the cyst was punctured and most of the fluid was drained prior to surgery. The swelling of the tongue base was remarkably reduced, and intubation was performed safely. The cyst was extracted using the Sistrunk procedure and tracheotomy was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of TGDC. Preoperative volume reduction of the cyst and tracheotomy should be considered for oral intubation and postoperative airway management, respectively, in patients with large TGDC.
