Primary Follicular Lymphoma of Thyroid: A Rare Case Report with Review of the Literature.
Article in Iranian journal of pathology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background & Objective: Thyroid lymphomas are predominantly secondary to lymphoma at other sites, and primary follicular lymphoma of the thyroid is a very rare entity. Case Presentation: Here, we report a case of a 62-year-old female who presented with swelling in the front of her neck for one month. The clinical diagnosis was a multinodular goiter. Fine needle aspiration cytology was done and reported as nodular colloid goiter with lymphocytic thyroiditis. The system examination was unremarkable. Histopathological assessments of the right hemithyroidectomy specimen revealed the effacement of thyroid architecture by abnormal and extensive lymphoid follicles. Immunohistochemistry revealed CD20, CD10, BCL2, and BCL6 positivity in the lymphoid follicles. FDG-PT CT scan demonstrated no evidence of lymphoma elsewhere. So, a e final diagnosis of follicular lymphoma of the thyroid was made. Conclusion: Due to the rarity and low prevalence of primary follicular lymphoma of the thyroid and challenging in its differentiation from Hashimoto's thyroiditis with dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltration and formation of lymphoid follicles, histopathologic diagnosis should be confirmed by immunohistochemical studies.
