Ectopic thyroid tissue in adrenal gland - A case report and review of literature.
Review in Diagnostic pathology, 2024. 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
Ectopic thyroid tissue along the line of descent of thyroid from foramen caecum along thyroglossal duct to the normal anatomic location in neck has been reported. Ectopic thyroid tissue in adrenal gland (ETTAG) is rarely encountered and very few cases have been reported in literature. The most common differential diagnosis to be considered when thyroid follicles are noted in adrenal gland are metastasis from a thyroid malignancy or a teratoma or an ectopic thyroid tissue in adrenal gland. We present a case of an adrenal incidentaloma in a young pregnant female which was diagnosed to be ectopic thyroid tissue in adrenal gland. The review of literature of similar cases of this rare embryological aberrance is discussed. To our knowledge, only 16 such cases have been documented in literature and our case is the first one from Indian subcontinent and the largest documented with respect to size.
