Ectopic thyroid tissue in the breast mimicking a breast lesion: A rare case report.
Article in Radiology 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
Ectopic thyroid tissue is an uncommon developmental anomaly characterized by the presence of thyroid tissue outside its normal pre-tracheal site. This report describes a rare case of benign ectopic thyroid tissue in the breast of a 47-year-old woman after a history of Graves' disease and benign left thyroidectomy. A core biopsy of the breast excluded malignancy from a breast cancer, thyroid and other metastatic diseases. Functional and anatomical imaging with I-123 SPECT CT and ultrasound of the neck were performed to identify all sites of thyroid tissue including ectopic sites. This case demonstrates the steps needed to understand the diagnosis and management of ectopic thyroid tissue in the breast and the need for a multidisciplinary approach with breast, nuclear medicine and endocrine teams for optimal management.
