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

Background & Objective: Thyroid cancer is one of the most prevalent endocrine neoplasms. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) are two different types of thyroid cancers. The synchronous occurrence of PTC and MTC is a rare phenomenon, but it can present as a thyroid collision tumor. The purpose of this case report is to highlight a rare presentation of a collision tumor and its associated diagnostic challenges. Case Report: In this case report, a 61-year-old female patient presented with a painless anterior neck mass and voice hoarseness. She had a previous history of benign multinodular goiter and left lobectomy. Preoperative fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of neck lymph nodes showed malignant epithelioid cells with anisonucleosis, plasmacytoid and spindle-like morphology, consistent with metastatic carcinoma, likely MTC. She underwent completion total thyroidectomy and histopathology investigations post-operation showed PTC in right lobe and the remnant of left lobe, and concurrent MTC was detected in two out of two central lymph nodes. On follow up patient had no signs of recurrence. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of careful histological assessment of thyroid masses and lymph nodes for accurate diagnosis and the importance of long-term follow up after subtotal thyroidectomy or thyroid lobectomy.
