Primary Thyroid Lymphoma Diagnosed on Rapid Onsite and Cytology: A Rare Case Report.
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 2 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
Introduction: Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) is an essential component of thyroid cytopathology, particularly important in thyroid lymphoma, anaplastic carcinoma, metastasis to avoid unnecessary surgery. Follicular epithelial neoplasms are the most common tumors arising from the thyroid, whereas primary thyroid lymphomas are uncommon, accounting for less than 5% of all thyroid malignancies. Case description: A 45-year-old male patient presented to our ENT outpatient department with swelling in the anterior neck for 3 years duration. Non-aspirational needling was done along with rapid on-site evaluation using 1% aq. toluidine blue and was reported as Malignant thyroid neoplasm- possibility of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Cellblock sample also confirmed as B-cell NHL followed by Immunohistochemistry. Discussion: Primary thyroid lymphomas (PTL) are uncommon malignant neoplasms. They represent < 5% of all thyroid malignancies and 1-2% of all extra-nodal lymphomas. If diagnosed cytologically, unnecessary surgery can be avoided in thyroid lymphoma. ROSE helps in the rapid diagnosis and sample adequacy. Cellblock can avoid the biopsy procedure used for confirmation and subtyping of lymphoma.
