New-Onset Graves' Disease With Thyroid Storm After COVID-19 Infection.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
COVID-19 has been a known cause of triggering autoimmune conditions. Previous literature demonstrates an increase in the incidence of Graves' disease during the COVID-19 pandemic. The virus is thought to affect genetics, leading to a cascade of events that cause hyperthyroidism. In our case, an 81-year-old male presented with symptoms of palpitations, tremors, dizziness, diarrhea, and fatigue. He was found to be in atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response, and his workup was consistent with hyperthyroidism. Based on his Burch-Wartofsky score, the diagnosis of thyroid storm was made. There are a limited number of case reports with new-onset Graves' disease after COVID-19 infection. Interestingly, our patient was also in a thyroid storm. He was treated with hydrocortisone cholestyramine, potassium, and propylthiouracil. After treatment, his symptoms resolved, and his thyroid studies improved. We chose to present this case because it demonstrates one of the many autoimmune effects that COVID-19 has been linked to.
