Large Thyroglossal Duct Cyst Presenting in Adulthood: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 (TGDC) is one of the most prevalent congenital midline cervical anomalies which commonly appear during childhood. It has a typically slow-growing presentation with small- or moderate-sized swelling. Here, we described our experience in managing a case of TGDC with an extraordinary clinical course and size, with further evidence from a literature review. A 35-year-old gentleman presented later in adult life with a large midline neck mass of 9.3 x 9.0 x 10.7 cm reaching up to the level of mandible superiorly and sternal notch inferiorly. His history and physical examination, along with fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and CT scan, were suggestive of TGDC. He successfully underwent a Sistrunk operation for TGDC without any morbidity. Postoperatively, he recovered well without evidence of recurrence during follow-up. Large TGDC is always a challenge to clinicians. Correlating the clinical features and imaging is crucial to decide the appropriate surgical treatment.
