Diagnostic Tools Applied to Determine Thyroid Lipoadenoma: 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
We report a case of thyroid lipoadenoma of the thyroid gland, an extremely rare benign lesion containing both adipose tissue and thyroid tissue. A 74-year-old Chinese female underwent a series of examinations for the incidental thyroid nodule. The sonogram showed a well-encapsulated and hyper-isoechoic nodule in the left thyroid gland. The CT revealed a low-attenuation thyroid nodule without evidence of extrathyroid extension. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology reported atypia of undetermined significance. As none of these studies could confirm the diagnosis and rule out potential malignancy, the patient ultimately received minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT). Final pathology confirmed the diagnosis of thyroid lipoadenoma, consisting of adipose tissue and follicular cells, with adipose tissue comprising approximately 40% to 50% of the lesion. Common diagnostic tools for thyroid nodules offer limited utility in identifying thyroid lipoadenoma, often requiring thyroidectomy for definitive diagnosis and management.
