Follicular carcinoma of the thyroid presenting as metastasis in the wall of an arachnoid cyst.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The brain is an uncommon site for metastases of differentiated thyroid carcinoma with the most common location being cerebral hemispheres, followed by cerebellum and pituitary gland. Metastasis in the wall of an arachnoid cyst is exceedingly rare with single case report available in the published literature. Arachnoid cyst metastasis from an extraneuraxial malignancy has not been published until. We present a unique case of thyroid carcinoma metastasizing to the wall of an intracranial arachnoid cyst and the most interesting fact is that it was the first clinical manifestation of her malignancy.
