The Unlikely Suspect: A Case Report of New-Onset Hyperthyroidism Due to Graves' Disease in an 89-Year-Old Gentleman and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Thyroid dysfunction in the elderly commonly manifests as hypothyroidism. With advancing age, toxic nodules are the more common cause of hyperthyroidism as compared to Graves' disease. Due to the lack of classical symptoms of hyperthyroidism in the elderly, the diagnosis can often be delayed. Previously, an 82-year-old gentleman with oropharyngeal dysphagia due to Graves' disease was the oldest reported case with atypical symptoms. We report a case of an 89-year-old gentleman with no prior history of thyroid disease, who presented with non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms that ultimately led to the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism secondary to Graves' disease. We also review the available literature regarding the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management of hyperthyroidism and Graves' disease in the elderly.
