Unmasking Hidden Mediastinal Involvement in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Case Report on the Diagnostic Utilization of EBUS-TBNA.
Article in Case reports in pulmonology, 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
The global incidence of thyroid cancer is on the rise, with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) accounting for approximately 80% of all cases. The incidence of mediastinal lymph node metastases in papillary thyroid cancer ranges from 0.7% to 27%. This case report details the diagnosis of a young man with papillary thyroid cancer, where the diagnosis was confirmed using endobronchial ultrasound-transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) of the mediastinal lymph nodes. EBUS-TBNA, recognized for its minimal invasiveness and high diagnostic yield, facilitated the precise evaluation and staging of mediastinal involvement. This method played a key role in identifying metastatic involvement in a case where traditional imaging and diagnostic approaches may have been insufficient. The case underscores the utility of EBUS-TBNA in managing thyroid cancer metastases, particularly in assessing rare sites of metastatic spread, and highlights the importance of this technique in the comprehensive diagnostic evaluation of thyroid cancer patients with suspected mediastinal lymph node involvement.
