Thyroid nodules as predictors of adenomatous colonic polyps: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 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
backgroundThyroid nodules (TN) are increasingly diagnosed worldwide; investigating the association between TN and colon polyps could be helpful in early detection and management. To our knowledge no meta-analysis has assessed the relationship between TN and adenomatous colonic polyps.
aimTo assess the association between adenomatous colonic polyps, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and TN.
methodsWe searched PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, and the first 100 articles in Google for articles published in English from inception until April 2025. We included prospective cohorts, retrospective studies, case-control studies, and cross-sectional studies. The keywords thyroid nodules, adenomatous colon polyps, thyroid volume, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and thyroid malignancy were used.
resultsOut of 237 articles, 25 full texts were reviewed, and 5 full texts were included in the final meta-analysis. No relationship was found between TN, colonic polyps, and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels [odd ratio (OR): 1.78, 95% confidence interval (CI)
conclusionTN were similar among patients with and without adenomatous colonic polyps. However, TN was more common among colon polyps when addressing the heterogeneity. Thyroid-stimulating hormone was not different between those with and without TN. Age, sex, adiposity, and smoking effects might explain the higher rate observed by the included studies. Further studies controlling for the same are needed.
