Metastasis of Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma to Skull Base: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Follicular thyroid carcinoma is a well-differentiated thyroid neoplasm that is classified into widely invasive or minimally invasive carcinoma. Vascular invasion is often characteristic of follicular thyroid carcinoma. There is an estimated 6-20% incidence of distance metastasis with the bone being the most common followed by the lungs and then the lymph nodes. Metastatic spread to the skull base is rare. This case report will cover a patient who presented with follicular thyroid carcinoma and cranial neuropathy and was found to have metastasis to the skull base.
