Granulomatous Thyroiditis Post Tuberculosis Infection Mimicking a Neoplasm.

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
Granulomatous thyroiditis is a diffuse inflammation of the thyroid gland that has a wide range of etiologies like viral, bacterial, and autoimmune conditions. The most common type is subacute granulomatous thyroiditis due to viral infection, seen in the middle-aged group and affects women. A 65-year-old woman, presented with complaints of anterior neck swelling for three months. Due to lack of pain, her age, a positive family history, and atypical cells on workup, she was posted for total thyroidectomy and the specimen was sent for histopathological examination (HPE). The report showed nodular goiter with focal granulomas, and a diagnosis of granulomatous thyroiditis was made. Post-operative CT chest showed scarring of the lung, so the etiology was narrowed down to tuberculosis. Granulomatous thyroiditis mimicking a neoplasm is uncommon in the elderly. A detailed workup must be done to identify the etiology and treat any underlying infection.
