Nodular Goitre Posing as a Follicular Carcinoma with Extrathyroidal Extension: A Diagnostic Dilemma - 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
Nodular goitre caused by thyroid hyperplasia is a benign condition arising from abnormalities in thyroid gland physiology, resulting from an imbalance between thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyrotropin-releasing hormone, and the follicular epithelium of the thyroid gland. The histopathological characteristics of this hyperplasia can resemble well-differentiated follicular carcinoma of the thyroid. Here, we present the case of a 66-year-old man with clinicopathological features suggestive of follicular carcinoma with extrathyroidal extension. However, histopathological examination confirmed nodular goitre. The diagnostic challenge was due to the presence of skeletal muscle fibres mixed with thyroid follicles, a phenomenon rarely seen in thyroid hyperplasia with very limited data available in the literature. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of nodular goitre due to rare histopathological features mimicking follicular carcinoma.
