Immunoglobulin G4-related thyroiditis associated with Graves' disease: A case report.
Article in Heliyon, 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
We report a case of immunoglobulin (ig)-g4-related thyroiditis associated with graves' disease. a 45-year-old man was diagnosed with graves' disease due to asymptomatic enlarged thyroid gland and high serum levels of thyrotropin receptor antibodies and thyroid hormones. surgical resection of the thyroid gland was performed because of further thyroid gland enlargement and severe fluctuations in the thyroid hormonal levels, despite medical therapy with a combination of an antithyroid drug and a thyroid hormone preparation. macroscopic examination of the resected thyroid gland revealed a grayish-white diffuse swelling, and histopathological findings revealed follicular destruction, chronic inflammatory cell infiltration with diffuse igg4-positive plasma cells (IgG4/IgG >40%), storiform fibrosis, and phlebitis obliterans throughout the thyroid tissue. Additionally, there were small foci of high columnar follicular components with scalloping, resembling Graves' disease. We propose that all patients with Graves' disease should be evaluated for coexisting IgG4-related thyroiditis to detect ophthalmopathies as soon as possible.
