Infected Thyroglossal Duct Cyst with an Emergent Airway Threat.
Article in Turkish archives of otorhinolaryngology, 2025. 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
Thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) is a common congenital neck anomaly that typically presents as a midline neck mass and is most often diagnosed in the second decade of life. Although TDCs are generally painless and asymptomatic, infection of the cyst can lead to significant airway obstruction. We report the case of a 31-year-old male who experienced upper airway obstruction due to an acute TDC infection. We performed a curative modified Sistrunk procedure to relieve the obstruction during the acute episode. This case underscores the critical need for prompt diagnosis and intervention to prevent morbidity and mortality associated with airway emergencies in infected TDCs. We also discuss the challenges of managing an acutely infected TDC with emergent airway involvement, necessitating a more complex surgical approach.
