Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma With Predominant Intrathoracic Progression: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in medicine, 2026. 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
While most thyroid cancers have a favorable prognosis, anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is highly aggressive and results in a poor prognosis. ATC frequently arises from preexisting benign goiters or highly differentiated thyroid cancers, typically presenting with rapidly progressing local symptoms and often accompanied by distant metastasis. We report a case of ATC that rapidly progressed to intrapulmonary metastases and malignant pleural effusion. Despite a previous histological diagnosis of benign goiter and the absence of local symptoms at the final presentation, the patient died just 20 days after the onset of symptoms. In patients with thyroid tumors accompanied by rapid progression of intrathoracic lesions, ATC must be considered as a differential diagnosis, even if they were previously diagnosed with a benign goiter.
