Hashimoto Thyroiditis and Progression of Papillary Thyroid Cancer: 10-Year Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in JMIR cancer, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: In recent years, the global incidence of thyroid cancer has been increasing. Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) and papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) progression under active surveillance (AS). Methods: Our retrospective study was conducted at Peking University Third Hospital and included 203 patients with PTC who underwent AS for ≥6 months before surgery. Patients were first categorized into 2 groups: the HT group (n=90) and the non-HT group (n=113). Cox proportional hazards models were then used to evaluate the association between HT and PTC progression during AS, adjusting for age, sex, baseline tumor size, BMI, pregnancy status, number of tumor foci, and thyroid-stimulating hormone level. Subgroup analyses stratified by the 6 covariates mentioned above were also applied to explore the potential effect modification. Results: No significant difference was observed between the HT and non-HT groups in PTC progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] 1.11, 95% CI 0.61-1.99; P=.74), tumor enlargement-free survival (HR 1.02, 95% CI 0.56-1.86; P=.95), or lymph node metastasis-free survival (HR 1.76, 95% CI 0.31-10.12; P=.52). Subgroup analyses revealed a potential interaction between HT and BMI. Among patients who were overweight or obese (BMI >24 kg/m²), HT was significantly associated with an increased risk of disease progression (HR 6.32, 95% CI 1.84-21.69; P=.003), while among patients with BMI ≤24 kg/m2, no association between HT and progression risk was observed (P=.01). Conclusions: We found no evidence of association between HT and PTC progression during AS. However, the relationship between HT and PTC progression may be modified by overweight or obesity status.
