1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMetastatic follicular thyroid carcinoma to the central nervous system (CNS), including the skull and dura, is exceedingly rare. OBSERVATIONS: The authors present the case of a gigantic, intraosseous, dural-based follicular thyroid carcinoma, highlighting the operative strategy for this mass. They also provide a literature review of CNS metastases of differentiated thyroid carcinoma. LESSONS: Although follicular thyroid carcinoma rarely metastasizes to the CNS, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of hypervascular intraosseous skull lesions, even in the absence of disseminated metastatic disease. The authors illustrate key operative steps in managing the tumor's hypervascularity, extracranial extension, and posterior sagittal sinus invasion, as well as unintended sequelae from ligating the seemingly occluded anterior and middle third of the superior sagittal sinus in large tumors. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24550.
