Development of Graves' Disease after Resection of an Autonomously Functioning Thyroid Nodule.

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 herein report a 46-year-old woman with autonomously functioning thyroid nodules (AFTNs) who developed Graves' disease (GD) approximately one year after AFTN resection. Before surgery, the patient was positive for anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb) and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb), and negative for TSH-receptor antibodies (TRAb). An AFTN is a follicular adenoma surrounded by chronic thyroiditis. At the onset of GD, her TgAb and TPOAb titers increased, and TRAb became positive. This case suggests that surgery releases a large amount of thyroid tissue that contains thyroid-stimulating hormone receptors, leading to GD in susceptible individuals. Preoperative chronic thyroiditis can predict the postoperative development of GD.
