A Case Report of Bilateral Thyroid Thymic Carcinoma with Multiple Cervical Lymph Node Metastases: Clinical Manifestations and Imaging Characteristics.
Article in Case reports in oncology. 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
Introduction: Intrathyroidal thymic carcinoma (ITTC) is a rare low-grade malignant tumor arising within the thyroid gland. It exhibits histological and immunophenotypic features similar to thymic carcinoma. Due to its rarity and non-specific imaging findings, preoperative diagnosis remains challenging. Case Presentation: We report a case of a 60-year-old male who presented with hoarseness and dysphagia. Ultrasound revealed multiple bilateral thyroid nodules with irregular margins and heterogeneous internal echoes, along with bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. Enhanced CT showed heterogeneous enhancement of the thyroid and enlarged lymph nodes. The patient underwent extended radical resection of bilateral thyroid cancer with mediastinal lymph node dissection. Postoperative pathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of bilateral thyroid thymic carcinoma with multiple cervical lymph node metastases. Conclusion: ITTC should be considered in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules with suspicious ultrasound features, especially when associated with cervical lymph node metastases. Positive expression of CD5 and CD117 with negative expression of Tg and TTF-1 is diagnostic. Treatment follows principles similar to those for thymic carcinoma, and complete surgical resection remains the mainstay.
