Primary Thyroid Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) Lymphoma: 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
Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is a rare entity. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma represents only a small portion of all PTLs and is usually associated with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. Most cases are indolent and asymptomatic, which may delay diagnosis. We present the case of a 63-year-old woman with a history of autoimmune hypothyroidism who developed a rapidly enlarging anterior neck mass and compressive symptoms. Ultrasound revealed an enlarged thyroid gland with a heterogeneous right lobe with a 34 mm lesion suggestive of focal thyroiditis. Fine-needle aspiration cytology was negative for malignancy (Bethesda II). Due to clinical progression, a total thyroidectomy was performed. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed MALT lymphoma. Primary MALT lymphoma of the thyroid is a rare and often underrecognized diagnosis. It should be considered in patients with chronic thyroiditis and new or enlarging nodules. Surgical excision may be both diagnostic and therapeutic in localized disease. Postoperative surveillance remains essential due to the potential for systemic involvement.
