Acceptance of disease as a mediator between social support and quality of life in women with Hashimoto's disease-a pilot study.
Article in Scientific 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
Hashimoto's disease is a thyroid disorder characterized by elevated antibody levels and altered gland structure seen on ultrasound. It is a common autoimmune disease, primarily affecting women. The disease has both physical and psychological consequences. Studies indicate an increased risk of mental health disorders, including depression and anxiety disorders. There is very little research in the literature focused on the quality of life of patients with Hashimoto's disease and social support. The aim of the study was to verify the hypothesis that social support predicts health-related quality of life in patients with Hashimoto's disease, both directly and indirectly. 143 women (aged 19-67) participated in the study. Participants completed a series of questionnaires. The mediation analyses have revealed that disease acceptance mediates the relationship between social support and the perceived impact of Hashimoto's disease on quality of life. The present study thus provides new knowledge in the understudied area of social support, acceptance, and quality of life in women with Hashimoto's disease. It is crucial to highlight the importance of ensuring the availability of psychological support for patients diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
