Management of Riedel Thyroiditis With Completion Thyroidectomy to Relieve Persistent Compressive Symptoms.
Article in JCEM 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
Riedel thyroiditis is a rare IgG4-related condition characterized by chronic inflammation that results in partial or total fibrosis of the thyroid gland. Medical management aimed at reducing the autoimmune inflammatory response is generally considered to be the first-line treatment; however, not all patients respond to such interventions and require surgical intervention. Herein we report a 40-year-old patient with Riedel thyroiditis and significant compressive symptoms. She underwent several trials of medical therapy, including prednisone, tamoxifen, and mycophenolate mofetil, but saw almost no symptomatic improvement. She then underwent right thyroid lobectomy but again saw incomplete improvement in compressive symptoms. Ultimately, she received completion thyroidectomy, and this led to great improvement in airway obstruction but unfortunately resulted in chronic hypoparathyroidism. Our case adds to the medical literature by highlighting the value of serial imaging and pulmonary function evaluation to assess the severity of tracheal stenosis as well as demonstrating the potential feasibility of complete resection of the thyroid gland for patients with Riedel thyroiditis and concomitant airway obstruction.
