Myasthenia gravis complicated by Graves' disease: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionMyasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular autoimmune condition characterized by the presence of antibodies against acetylcholine receptors. It may present as a generalized disorder or remain limited to specific muscle groups. Myasthenia gravis can occur independently or alongside other autoimmune conditions, including Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. Although the co-occurrence of these disorders is recognized, it is an extremely rare clinical phenomenon. CASE PRESENTATION: A 20-year-old woman of Muganda ethnicity, with a 2-year history of Graves' disease confirmed by thyroid scintigraphy, developed a myasthenic syndrome leading to acute respiratory failure. Her condition improved with the administration of Prostigmine. Further investigations, including electrophysiological studies and immunological tests, confirmed a diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. The patient demonstrated a positive response to medical therapy.
conclusionThis case highlights the importance of recognizing the rare association between myasthenia gravis and Graves' disease. Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment require a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach, particularly given the challenges posed by overlapping symptoms and the exacerbating effects of hyperthyroidism on myasthenia gravis.
