Management Outcome of Adult Thyroglossal Duct Cyst in a General Surgery Tertiary Practice in Sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria.

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 cyst (TDC) is a rare condition in adults. This is a report of its presentation and standard treatment with good outcome in adults in a Sub-Saharan tertiary hospital. It is a retrospective review of five adult patients who were managed over a five-year period culled from archived records and casenotes. The three males and two females have a median age of 35 years and a range of 15-74 years. Each of them presented with anterior neck masses while one, in addition, had a painful swelling with a discharging sinus. The median duration of the symptoms was 4.5 years. Four of the cysts were in the infrahyoid location and all the patients had a Sistrunk operation. The median duration of follow-up was six months, without complications. Surgeons need to have a high level of suspicion for this condition in adults.
