Medical Treatment of Hyperthyroidism; Efficacy and Safety Considerations.
Review in Archives of Iranian medicine, 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
Antithyroid drugs (ATDs) are often the first treatment option for hyperthyroidism due to their efficacy and safety profile. Long-term ATD treatment can effectively control hyperthyroidism and prevent relapse. In this review, we summarize the findings of clinical trials and clinical experiences on the use of ATD treatment for hyperthyroidism. We discuss the efficacy and safety of ATD treatment, as well as the optimal duration of treatment. The evidence suggests that ATD therapy is selected as initial therapy, treatment of relapse of hyperthyroidism and in patients with persistent elevation of TSH receptor antibodies after 18 months of ATD therapy. Long-term ATD treatment can be an effective and safe option for management of many patients with hyperthyroidism. However, additional studies are needed to establish the most efficacious treatment duration and to identify patients who are most likely to benefit from long-term ATD treatment.
