Ulcerative colitis with autoimmune thyroid disease results in bilateral auricular ossificans：a case.
Article in Journal of translational autoimmunity, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) often exhibit susceptibilities to multiple autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome, primary sclerosing cholangitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. This propensity likely stems from common pathogenic mechanisms underlying immune-mediated conditions. This report highlights the occurrence of autoimmune thyroid disease during UC exacerbations. Notably, the patient displayed petrified auricles.Case Summary.A 57-year-old male complained of sustained abdominal pain, diarrhea, hematochezia, and mucus for a duration of 20 days. The diagnosis of UC was confirmed via colonoscopy, histopathological examination, and small bowel MRE. Clinical evaluations revealed bilateral ectopic ossification in his ears, which appeared to develop over an unspecified timeframe. Imaging and histological evaluations substantiated the ectopic ossification diagnosis while eliminating the possibility of adrenal insufficiency. The presented case offers a unique instance of bilateral auricular ossification, which is hypothesized to result from hyperthyroidism. Conclusion: Our case report underscores the necessity of enhancing awareness of the rare complications associated with UC. Medical practitioners should recognize the potential overlap of autoimmune thyroid disorders in UC patients. It is imperative to test for thyroid-related antibodies in such individuals, irrespective of overt thyroid dysfunction.
