Colorectal cancer metastasis to the thyroid: A case report and review of the literature.

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
Metastatic thyroid cancer is rare. Here, the case of a patient with colon cancer that metastasized to the thyroid is described. The patient underwent radical rectal cancer surgery in August 2017 and received six cycles of chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and capecitabine postoperatively. On August 4, 2018, the patient was admitted to the hospital due to the discovery of thyroid nodules on ultrasound and carcinoembryonic antigen levels within the normal range. The biopsy from the fine needle aspiration suggested a malignant tumor. The patient underwent radical thyroid cancer surgery. Using intraoperative rapid frozen pathology, medullary carcinoma was diagnosed. Using postoperative routine pathology combined with immunohistochemistry results, thyroid metastasis from colorectal adenocarcinoma was diagnosed. After surgery, the patient regularly visited the outpatient clinic for chemotherapy with capecitabine. As of May 2023, the patient is still alive with no recurrence.
