Synchronous Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-Positive Oropharyngeal Carcinoma and Occult Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Synchronous malignancies involving the oropharynx and thyroid gland are rare. We report the case of a 52-year-old female diagnosed with human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) with a concurrent, clinically occult papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The patient initially presented with HPV-associated OPSCC and concerns for cervical lymphadenopathy, presumed to be linked to regional metastasis from the oropharyngeal primary. However, further pathological evaluation revealed that one of the metastatic lymph nodes within the same cervical level originated from an undiagnosed PTC. This report highlights the need for careful pathological evaluation and consideration of multiple primary tumors in patients presenting with cervical lymph node metastases.
