A case report of differentiated thyroid cancer presenting as a renal mass.
Article in Asia Oceania journal of nuclear medicine & biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The kidney is an unconventional site for thyroid metastasis. As of the writing of this article, only about 30 cases have been reported. It presents like a renal mass. We are reporting a man with thyroid carcinoma presenting with distant metastasis to the kidney. He had complaints of abdominal pain and haematuria. Initial imaging suggested a left renal mass. A diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma was made and a nephrectomy was performed. Histopathology revealed it to be a metastasis from cancer of the thyroid gland. Subsequently, an ultrasound of the thyroid gland was performed, which showed a malignant appearing thyroid nodule. Correlative bone scan showed uptake at multiple skeletal sites. Total thyroidectomy was done and it was found to be papillary thyroid cancer. Subsequently, high dose radioactive iodine was administered. The patient was followed up and has recently found to have metastasis to the brain and is undergoing radiotherapy.
