Papillary thyroid carcinoma in a patient with long-standing chronic lymphocytic leukemia: A case report.
Article in Oncology letters, 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
The synchronous occurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is rare and poses diagnostic challenges, particularly in distinguishing metastatic thyroid disease from hematological lymphadenopathy. The present report documents the case of a 64-year-old female patient with long-standing CLL who presented with a malignant thyroid nodule accompanied by multiple enlarged cervical lymph nodes. A diagnosis was established through integrated immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry and multimodal imaging. After the diagnosis of synchronous PTC and CLL/SLL was confirmed, the patient underwent a total thyroidectomy with central compartment lymph node dissection. In addition, a focused review of the literature was conducted to contextualize the clinical presentation, diagnostic strategies and management approaches. Treatment and follow-up were guided by a multidisciplinary team. No adverse events occurred during follow-up. At the latest follow-up in November 2025, the patient remained clinically stable, with no evidence of PTC recurrence or CLL progression, and thyroid function test results showed decreased T3, elevated T4 and free T4, mildly elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone, and free T3 within the reference range. The present case highlights the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic work-up and provides practical guidance for the diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with dual malignancies.
