Well-Differentiated Lung Neuroendocrine Tumor Masquerading as Metastatic Medullary Thyroid Cancer.
Article in JCEM case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Typical carcinoid tumors, or low-grade neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), are a rare class of neoplasms that share histopathological characteristics with other NETs like medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). Here, we report an 85-year-old woman with a history of left hemithyroidectomy in the 1980s (pathology not available) and right-sided multinodular goiter biopsied as benign, initially misdiagnosed with metastatic MTC based on lung nodule biopsy staining for calcitonin. The lung nodule was surgically removed and shown to be a well-differentiated lung NET. This case demonstrates the diagnostic challenges of integrating cytopathological findings, such as calcitonin staining, with the overall clinical scenario to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
