Ovarian goiter detected during post-operative follow-up of papillary thyroid cancer: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2023. 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
A 70-year-old female without any past medical history underwent total thyroidectomy and central neck dissection for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) (pT3bN1aM0 pStage II). Her post-operative thyroglobulin (Tg) level remained high (around 100 ng/mL), which increased to 366 ng/mL 5 years after surgery. Computed tomography revealed metastasis to the left III and right Vb and VI lymph nodes and an incidental ovarian tumor. Transvaginal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging suspected malignancy, resulting in total hysterectomy and bilateral adnexal resection. A pathological diagnosis of ovarian goiter with no malignancy was then established. For lymph node metastasis of PTC, right neck dissection and left III lymph node resection were performed. Post-operative blood examination showed a significant decrease in the Tg level (5.9 ng/mL). In conclusion, systemic imaging or I-131 remnant ablation should be performed after total thyroidectomy, as evident in the present case in which Tg levels did not decrease after total thyroidectomy.
