A Pseudotumoral Goiter Revealing the Fibrous Variant of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: A Case With Multidisciplinary Diagnostic Challenges.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
The fibrosing (or fibrous) variant of Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an uncommon entity that may closely mimic a malignant thyroid tumor due to its clinical presentation and morphological features. We report the case of a patient with progressively worsening compressive goiter in the setting of established hypothyroidism, in whom imaging findings suggested a pseudotumoral lesion. Histopathological examination of the thyroidectomy specimen demonstrated diffuse thyroid fibrosis associated with a dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate forming lymphoid follicles, along with oncocytic and squamous metaplasia, without evidence of malignancy. This case highlights the pivotal role of thorough histopathological assessment in establishing the correct diagnosis of this rare condition and in excluding neoplastic processes, thereby preventing unnecessary aggressive management.
