Squamous Cell Carcinoma Metastatic to the Thyroid Gland Diagnosed by Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology: A Case Report.
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
Fine-needle aspiration cytology of the thyroid gland has been widely used for the initial diagnosis of suspected malignant thyroid nodules and definitive preoperative diagnosis of recurrent and metastatic thyroid cancer. Metastases to the thyroid most commonly arise from tumors in the lungs, kidneys, breasts, and skin. Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma can also be observed in the thyroid, but it is relatively rare. Here, we report a case of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma metastatic to the thyroid that was diagnosed using fine-needle aspiration cytology, relying on cytomorphological characteristics, immunohistochemical features, and other clinical clues.
