Right thyroid hemiagenesis presenting with a contralateral simple diffuse goiter: case report.
Article in BMC endocrine disorders, 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
Thyroid hemiagenesis (THA) is a rare congenital disorder in which one thyroid lobe fails to develop. A variety of pathological conditions can occur in the remaining thyroid tissue in association with this rare anomaly such as subacute thyroiditis, colloid nodules, Graves' disease, simple goiter, Hashimoto thyroiditis, adenoma and thyroid carcinoma. The association of thyroid hemiagenesis with simple diffuse goiter is rare, and very few cases have been reported in the literature. A 30-year-old female patient presented at the thyroid clinic because of anterior neck swelling for approximately 2 years, thus raising the suspicion of a thyroid disorder. Physical examination revealed an approximately 5 × 5 cm anterior neck mass consistent with a goiter. The thyroid function test results were within normal limits. Ultrasonography of the anterior neck (thyroid gland) revealed thyroid hemiagenesis of the right lobe and a contralateral (left) diffusely enlarged thyroid gland, which had areas of tiny cystic components with a spongy appearance. Fine needle aspiration cytology demonstrated that the lesion was a colloid goiter and the patient was on regular follow up with thyroid function tests and ultrasound as the patient was without symptoms. Finally, the diagnosis of right thyroid hemiagenesis with a contralateral simple diffuse goiter was made which was a very rare association. Right sided thyroid hemiagenesis was also a very rare finding compared to left sided.
