Individual treatment strategy of thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma: a case report.
Article in Gland surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Neoplasia of ectopic thyroid components is relatively rare in thyroglossal duct cysts. We report a case of histopathologically confirmed papillary thyroid carcinoma in a thyroglossal duct cyst, discuss its clinical characteristics of, and provide reference for diagnosis and treatment. Case Description: We presented a 25-year-old female went to hospital because of "a tumor in her neck". She was preoperatively diagnosed with thyroglossal duct cyst by cervical ultrasound, and enhanced computed tomography (CT). However, the solid component of the mass suggested intracystic neoplasia. She underwent Sistrunk surgical resection, and postoperative histopathology showed thyroglossal duct cyst, and papillary thyroid carcinoma in the cyst wall. The patient had no high-risk factors and had a low risk of recurrence. After full disclosure, the patient chose close follow-up, and to date there has been no recurrence. Conclusions: There are controversies regarding the origin of thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma and the extent of surgery required, and a lack of unified treatment guidelines. We recommend tailoring individualized treatment based on individual risk stratification. By reporting this case, we hope to inform surgeons of the various abnormalities that may occur in ectopic thyroid tissue.
