Female Papillary Thyroid Cancer Survivors Are at Increased Risk of Adenomyosis and Endometrial Hyperplasia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThyroid cancer (TC) is the most common endocrine cancer worldwide, affecting mainly women of reproductive age. However, no data exist about its association with endometrial or uterine disorders. This study aimed to assess the risk of hyperproliferative pathology of the reproductive system in female ТС survivors.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study of female patients aged 20-45 years diagnosed with papillary TC (PTC) from 1994-2018. Age-matched females with normal thyroid structures served as controls.
resultsOne hundred and sixteen patients (mean age 36.7±61 years) and 90 age-matched controls were included. PTC survivors demonstrated an increased risk for adenomyosis [odds ratio (OR) 2.5, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3-4.8] and endometrial hyperplasia (OR 3.9, 95% CI 1.1-14.3), compared with controls. The risk for adenomyosis was higher after the ten post-operative years (OR 5.3, 95% CI 2.29- 12.05) than during the first 5-10 years (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.02-5.10) and increased with the number of RAI courses and the degree of TSH suppression. The risk of endometrial hyperplasia was most evident during the first five years post-thyroidectomy (OR 6.0, 95% CI 1.4-25.5), especially in patients with TSH <0.1 mU/L (OR 6.8, 95% CI 1.4-33.28) No difference in uterine leiomyomas or endometrial polyps was found between PTC survivors and controls.
conclusionsFemale PTC survivors are at increased risk of endometrial hyperplasia and adenomyosis compared with those with normal thyroid structures.
