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

backgroundMyxofibrosarcoma is a common soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities, which occurs very rarely in the thyroid gland. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 61-year-old male who presented with a swelling of the left side of the neck and a newly emerged hoarseness. Ultrasound depicted a hypoechoic thyroid nodule with microcalcifications that was highly suspicious for malignancy. He underwent a left hemithyroidectomy. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical studies revealed a myxofibrosarcoma of the thyroid gland.

conclusionMyxofibrosarcoma of the thyroid gland is extremely rare. The diagnosis is based on histopathological features. Radical surgery achieving tumor-free resection margins remains the only chance for cure. However, the role of radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is still under debate. Due to their high tendency for locoregional recurrence, a close follow-up after surgery is mandatory.
