Metastatic Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in the Hand.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 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
Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common thyroid cancer, and metastases can be seen in up to 10% of patients at initial presentation. Metastasis of tumors to the hand is rare. This report describes a patient with painful right thenar and hypothenar masses that were confirmed as metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma after narrow excision. Intraoperatively, the soft tissue masses did not invade the surrounding musculature or neurovascular bundles. There was improved hand pain and no neurovascular deficits postoperatively. Close monitoring with physical examination without additional radiation was recommended by the multidisciplinary endocrine oncology tumor board. This case highlighted the importance of maintaining suspicion for malignant metastasis in hand masses when there is a history of thyroid carcinoma.
