Unmet health care needs for patients with thyroid disease including thyroid cancer among Bangladeshi population.
Article in Journal of global health, 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
We aimed to identify the unmet health care needs of and proposed potential solutions for patients with thyroid diseases, including those with thyroid cancer, among the Bangladeshi population. We performed a qualitative study using structured interviews with healthcare professionals involved in care management and surgery for thyroid diseases. The interviews were conducted in four hospitals across three large cities in Bangladesh, with participants gathered through convenience sampling. Key findings were categorised and summarised into themes by topic, such as challenges, barriers, unmet needs, and solutions. The most common triggers for visiting the hospital were thyroid (neck) swelling and palpitations. All facilities mentioned thyroid patients' delayed arrival at the hospital and delayed diagnosis as problems, while incomplete treatment, incomplete follow-up, and inadequate specialised medical care emerged as challenges among thyroid cancer patients, specifically. Solutions to each issue and unmet need among thyroid patients focussed on improving awareness of thyroid disease, with raising awareness being the most important solution.
