Review in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07571681 (Colchicine as a Novel Anti-Inflammatory Strategy in Autoimmune and Subacute Thyroiditis), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is a chronic autoimmune thyroiditis characterized by thyroid-specific autoantibodies (TPOAb, TGAb) positivity and lymphocytic infiltration, and is a major cause of hypothyroidism in iodine-sufficient regions. Epidemiological data show a significant increase in the prevalence of HT, which is about four times more common in adult women than in men. The pathogenesis of HT involves a complex interaction of genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, and immune regulation. Its clinical diagnosis is mainly based on serological tests (TPOAb/TGAb) and thyroid ultrasound features. The current treatment of Hashimoto's is based on levothyroxine (T4) replacement. This article presents a narrative review of the pathogenesis, status, and challenges of treatment of HT to provide a theoretical basis for optimizing clinical practice and basic research.
