Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma Metastasis to the Retromolar Trigone: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) may occasionally present with metastatic disease at atypical oral sites. This report describes a case of FTC involving the retromolar trigone. A 48-year-old woman with a history of FTC treated a decade earlier with total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine therapy presented with a two-month history of a mass in the left retromolar region. Histopathological analysis of an incisional biopsy confirmed a metastatic well-differentiated follicular thyroid carcinoma. A conservative surgical approach involving left-sided modified radical neck dissection, followed by radioactive iodine management, caused complete resolution of the patient's retromolar lesion. Follow-up over six months showed no evidence of recurrence. This case highlights a rare presentation of FTC metastasizing to the retromolar trigone. It underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for metastatic disease in unusual oral lesions in patients with a history of thyroid cancer.
