Pathological Findings, Clinical Characteristics, and Outcomes of Thyroid Lymphomas: A Single Tertiary Care Hospital Experience.
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundPrimary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is a rare malignancy accounting for a small percentage of thyroid cancers and extra-nodal lymphomas. Treatment and prognosis depend on the histologic type and stage. Local studies and international reviews highlight the predominance of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. This study aims to identify the subtypes, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of PTL in a tertiary care hospital. METHODOLOGY: This study presents a case series of 12 patients diagnosed with PTL between 2010 and 2024 at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize cohort characteristics. Continuous variables were presented as mean and standard deviation. Categorical variables were represented as frequencies and percentages.
resultsAmong the 12 patients included with PTL, histopathological examination identified 66.7% with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), followed by mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in 16.7% of cases. Half of the cases had thyroiditis, and the majority presented with neck swelling and compressive symptoms. Most had lymph node involvement (66.67%).
conclusionIn summary, this study provides an exclusive insight into the pathological findings, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of PTL in a tertiary care hospital. PTL is a rare malignancy; however, it is a potential diagnosis when encountering an enlarged neck mass, especially with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Overall, DLBCL was the most common type identified. The majority of the cases had cervical/mediastinal lymph node involvement and thyroiditis.
