The association of common autoimmune diseases with autoimmune thyroiditis: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Objective: Numerous observational and retrospective studies have demonstrated an association between Autoimmune Thyroiditis (AIT) and various systemic Autoimmune Diseases (AIDs). However, the causal relationship between them remains uncertain. This study aims to investigate the causal link between AIT and diverse types of AIDs utilizing the Mendelian Randomization (MR) method. Method: We assessed the causal relationship between AIT and eight prevalent AIDs. Summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were sourced from the FinnGen biobank and IEU Open GWAS database. Two-sample MR analyses were conducted, with the primary statistical approach being the Inverse Variance Weighting (IVW) method. This was complemented by a series of sensitivity analyses, and the robustness of the findings was evaluated through the estimation of heterogeneity and pleiotropy. Results: When AIT was considered as the outcome, MR evidence suggested an association between Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Type 1 diabetes (T1D), and Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with AIT. Utilizing the Inverse Variance Weighting (IVW) method, we observed an increased risk of AIT with exposure to RA ( Conclusion: This study identified RA, T1D, and SLE as triggering factors for AIT. The incidence rate of AIT in patients with RA, T1D, and SLE may be higher than that in the general population. Therefore, individuals with these three diseases should undergo regular monitoring of thyroid-related indicators.
