A Rare Case of Neck Swelling: Acute Suppurative Thyroiditis With End-Stage Renal Disease.
Article in Cureus, 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
Acute suppurative thyroiditis is a rare life-threatening endocrine emergency. The thyroid gland has rich vascularity and lymphatic drainage, has large amounts of iodine in the tissue, generates hydrogen peroxide, and is encapsulated. Owing to these factors, infection of the thyroid gland is rare. The clinical presentation of acute suppurative thyroiditis closely resembles that of subacute thyroiditis, with a differentiation possible only on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). However, differentiating these two conditions is important because the management of these two conditions differs drastically. Management includes intravenous antibiotics, drainage of abscesses, and sometimes surgery may be required. Here, we present a case of thyroid abscess caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), diagnosed using FNAC of the thyroid gland and blood culture.
