Response Rate to Treatment of Achalasia Patients With Thyroid Disorders Versus Euthyroid Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study in Iran.

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
Background: Achalasia, characterized by impaired esophageal motility, presents a challenge in diagnosis and management. Emerging evidence suggests a potential association between achalasia and thyroid disorders (TD). Understanding the prevalence and treatment response of achalasia in Iranian patients with TD compared to euthyroid counterparts is crucial for optimizing clinical care and informing further research efforts. This study aimed to investigate and compare the response rate to treatment in euthyroid and TD achalasia patients and to determine the prevalence rate of autoimmune TD in individuals with achalasia. Methods and Materials: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 393 achalasia patients. Initially, the patients underwent thyroid tests to identify any TD. Following these tests, they were treated for achalasia and followed up at 1, 6, and 12 months. The collected data were analyzed to assess the outcomes. Results: The study examined data from 393 patients with achalasia and found no statistically significant correlation between the response rate to treatment in patients with normal thyroid function and those with TD ( Conclusion: Achalasia is linked to various TD, including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and thyroid nodular diseases. Patients with autoimmune TD and esophageal issues should undergo a thorough examination, especially for excessive weight loss. Autoimmune diseases may contribute to inflammation in the esophageal myenteric plexus.
