1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundFollicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is the second most common subtype of thyroid malignancy, with distant metastases most often to the bones, lungs, brain, and liver, and only rarely to other sites. Rectal follicular thyroid-like carcinoma is a rare condition characterized by infiltration of FTC within the rectal wall. There are almost no literature reports. CASE SUMMARY: We report a case of rectal thyroid-like follicular carcinoma in a 61-year-old woman. The patient presented with intermittent rectal bleeding, and a colonoscopy revealed a mass in the mid-rectum. She underwent laparoscopic resection of the lesion, and was diagnosed with rectal thyroid-like follicular carcinoma by postoperative pathology. After a laparoscopic partial rectal resection, she was discharged on postoperative day 7. At 6 months postoperatively, the patient was still alive.

conclusionRectal follicular thyroid-like carcinoma may arise from malignant struma ovarii, highlighting the need to consider ovarian origins in atypical metastases of FTC.
