Venous Thromboembolism and Thymic Hyperplasia in the Setting of Silent Graves' Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
Venous thromboembolism is a common, yet serious life-threatening condition that has many well-recognized associations which include but are not limited to pregnancy, polycythemia, trauma, immobility, and malignancy. The pathophysiology behind the pro-coagulant effects of hyperthyroidism has been well established; however, there are no current guidelines regarding deep venous thrombosis (DVT) surveillance in patients with hyperthyroidism. In this report, we discuss the case of a 36-year-old female with no significant past medical history (PMH) with the exception of a 15 pack-year smoking history, who presented to us with an extensive, rapidly-progressing lower extremity DVT. Despite aggressive treatment measures, she developed a pulmonary embolus in the hospital. During her stay, she was diagnosed with Graves' disease by hormone profile and thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSH-R) antibody positivity. Additionally, an incidental thymic mass, likely thymic hyperplasia, was found on imaging and presumed to be associated with Graves' disease. This case study reports a difficult-to-treat venous thromboembolism in the setting of Graves' disease along with a review of current literature and pathophysiology on the subject.
