A Scoping Review on the Prevalence of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and the Possible Associated Factors.
Article in Medical sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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
backgroundHashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most common autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and is characterized by the presence of thyroid autoantibodies against thyroid peroxidase and/or thyroglobulin. Several studies have found that the global prevalence of HT has increased in recent decades, while others show the opposite. METHODS AND
resultsThe objective of this scoping review was to synthesize and analyze the different studies that have evaluated the prevalence of HT (in adults) and the possible associated factors. The following databases were consulted, as follows: MEDLINE, Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus. The search terms "epidemiology", "prevalence", and "Hashimoto disease" and "Hashimoto thyroiditis" were used. The search was limited to articles published between January 1965 and October 2024, and only articles in English were considered. In order to reduce selection bias, each article was scrutinized using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist independently by two authors. Studies were included if the number of participants (study population and/or cases and controls, depending on the study design) was clearly described and duplicate studies were excluded. A total of 59 studies were identified, the vast majority of them used a cross-sectional design, using different methods of disease assessment.
conclusionsGlobally, the prevalence of HT is estimated to be between 5-10%; some areas with prevalences > 20% and others < 0.5% were identified. Prevalence is also higher in women than in men. Multiple underlying factors (genetic, epigenetic, environmental, and lifestyle), together with socioeconomic, nutritional, overdiagnosis, inter alia, may explain (at least in part) the wide variability in the prevalence of HT.
