Isolated Skin Metastasis From Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Rare Presentation.
Article in JCEM case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid malignancy and is often characterized by a high rate of regional lymph node involvement. However, distant metastasis is uncommon, and cutaneous metastases are particularly rare, occurring in fewer than 0.1% of cases. This report presents an unusual case of isolated skin metastasis as the first manifestation of distant spread in PTC. The case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with this rare presentation, explores potential mechanisms underlying cutaneous dissemination, and underscores the significance of a multidisciplinary approach to management. The findings emphasize the importance of long-term surveillance and meticulous pathological evaluation in patients with PTC, particularly in cases with atypical metastatic patterns.
