Acute suppurative thyroiditis in a child with congenital third/fourth branchial arch anomaly: a case report.

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
Third and fourth branchial arch anomalies belong to congenital lesions which are extremely rare accounting for <1-4% of branchial arch anomalies. In our case, a 4-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital with a painful mass on the left side of his neck. The imaging and clinical findings are oriented to the diagnosis of suppurative thyroiditis with underlying third/fourth branchial arch anomaly. The diagnosis was confirmed with laryngoscopy and the child was treated with endoscopic cauterization. The presence of specific clinical and imaging findings is not definitive, so the diagnosis relies on having a strong suspicion and knowledge of typical locations. So, our purpose is to present the spectrum of relative imaging findings from at least three imaging modalities in order to increase the level of clinical and radiological suspicion of that rare condition and help with accurate diagnosis and planning of the treatment.
