Thyroid disease in ANCA-associated vasculitis: a clinical and epidemiological study.
Article in RMD open, 2024. 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
objectivesTo describe clinical and laboratory characteristics and outcomes in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) and thyroid disease (TD). We also aimed to calculate incidence and identify predictors of TD in two large cohorts of patients with AAV.
methodsThe study comprised 644 patients with AAV in a population-based cohort from southern Sweden (n=325) and a cohort from a specialised vasculitis centre in Cambridge, UK (n=319). Diagnosis and classification of AAV and TD were confirmed by medical record review. Person-years (PY) of follow-up were calculated from AAV diagnosis to the earliest of TD, death or the end of study. Cox-regression analysis was employed to study predictors of TD.
resultsAt AAV diagnosis, 100 individuals (15.5%, 77 females) had TD, 59 had myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA+ and 34 had proteinase-3 (PR3)-ANCA+. Patients with TD tended to have lower C reactive protein, lower haemoglobin and fewer constitutional symptoms. Survival and renal survival was greater in those patients with AAV with pre-existing TD. During 4522 PY of follow-up, a further 29 subjects developed TD, yielding an incidence rate of 641/100 000 PY. No analysed factor predicted de novo TD in AAV. The prevalence of TD among patients with AAV in southern Sweden was 18%.
conclusionTD is a common comorbidity in AAV, affecting nearly one in five. While TD diagnosis is more common in females and MPO-ANCA+, these factors do not predict de novo TD after initiation of AAV treatment, necessitating monitoring of all patients with AAV with respect to this comorbidity.
