Non-Contiguous Double Thyroglossal Duct Cysts: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs) are conventionally considered solitary lesions connected to a persistent embryological tract. While rare double TDCs have been reported, they are almost invariably anatomically continuous. We report a paradigm-shifting case of non-contiguous double TDCs in a 50-year-old male, featuring two anatomically discrete cysts at the left vallecula and infrahyoid region with no interconnecting tract, to our knowledge, a finding not previously documented in this distinct anatomical configuration. Both lesions were completely excised and pathologically confirmed. This case challenges the conventional understanding of thyroglossal duct embryology and underscores the need for surgeons to anticipate and manage multiple independent remnants, which may require modifications to the standard Sistrunk procedure to ensure complete resection.
