Diagnostic and Management Guidelines of Thyroid Tuberculosis: Our Experience and Systematic Review.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Objective: Thyroid tuberculosis has non-specific clinical presentation, difficult diagnosis and specific medical management. The aim of this article is to present and share a review of the English-language literature on thyroid tuberculosis in order to gain a better understanding of diagnostic methods and provide guidelines for its management and to present our experience of three cases. Methods: The systematic search of the literature was performed on Pubmed and Medline from 1950 to 2019 according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement. Results: We retrieved 13 manuscripts meeting our criteria from the search. There were 7 case series, and 6 manuscripts with review of the literature. Conclusion: Direct histopathological demonstration is the best diagnostic modality. FNAC is the study of choice and PCR assay increases its sensitivity. The standard short course ATT for 6 months is recommended for isolated thyroid TB and for widespread disease, 12 months therapy is recommended. Surgery is reserved for failure of medical therapy and abscess formation.
