A Rare and Unusual Evolution of Hypothyroidism in Hashimoto's Thyroiditis to Graves' Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 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
Our article examines a rare case where hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto's thyroiditis progressed, after a long period (three years) of L-thyroxine substitution, into confirmed hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease in a 69-year-old man. The article explores possible mechanisms of this unusual transition based on our case and others reported in the literature. Findings suggest that the coexistence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease can lead to transitions between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, influenced by the predominance of involved antibodies and residual capacity of thyroid tissue. The authors emphasize the importance of further studies to better understand these transitions and identify at-risk patients. In conclusion, the article highlights the necessity of considering the rare possibility of transition to Graves' disease in patients presenting with persistent hyperthyroidism despite cessation of L-thyroxine.
