Effects of a Vegetarian Diet on the Development of Thyroid Disorders.
Review 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
This study aims to explore the impact of different types of vegetarian diets on thyroid health, particularly focusing on the prevalence of thyroid disorders. Vegetarianism has had increasing popularity and has been particularly prominent in Asia, where a large proportion of the population has adopted a vegetarian diet, whereas in North America, the prevalence of vegetarianism remains very small. Vegetarian and vegan diets have been known to pose a risk of deficiencies in minerals and vitamins including vitamin B12, selenium, vitamin A, iron, and iodine, which are crucial for thyroid health. Studies have shown that deficiencies in the aforementioned minerals and vitamins can exacerbate both hyper- and hypothyroidism. This study reviews global cohort studies and highlights the need for a balanced diet with appropriate supplementation of crucial minerals and vitamins involved in thyroid hormone synthesis and further amplifies the need for continued studies and modifications in recommendations to incorporate vegetarian diets as an important confounding factor in the development of thyroid disease.
