Primary Thyroid Tuberculosis Masquerading as a Follicular Neoplasm With Tracheal Compression: 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
Thyroid tuberculosis (TB) is a rare form of extrapulmonary infection that can mimic thyroid neoplasms. Diagnosis is challenging due to nonspecific imaging and cytology. We report a case of a 77-year-old female with a history of subtotal gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma. Surveillance CT revealed right-lobe-predominant thyroid enlargement causing tracheal compression. Ultrasound showed a multinodular goitre with a 4.1-cm solid nodule (Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) 3) and a 1.7-cm hypoechoic nodule (TI-RADS 4). Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the smaller nodule suggested a follicular neoplasm. The right thyroid lobectomy was performed. Histology revealed a follicular adenoma with epithelioid granulomas, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed
