Evolving autoimmune thyroid disease in the postpartum period with incidental identification of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma: A case report.
Article in Case reports in women's health, 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
Postpartum immune rebound may precipitate autoimmune thyroid disease. The sequential development of postpartum thyroiditis, Graves' disease, Hashimoto thyroiditis, and papillary thyroid carcinoma in a single patient has not previously been described. A 30-year-old woman (G3P1204) presented five months after a preterm dichorionic-diamniotic twin delivery (at 32 weeks 2 days) with thyrotoxicosis and weight loss. Laboratory evaluation showed suppressed thyroid stimulating hormone, positive thyrotropin receptor antibodies, and elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies. Radioiodine uptake was low, consistent with postpartum thyroiditis. She subsequently developed thyroid eye disease and persistent autoimmune seropositivity. Progressive thyroid nodules prompted total thyroidectomy, which incidentally revealed papillary thyroid carcinoma (<1 cm) on a background of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis and treated Graves' disease. This case highlights the diagnostic and management challenges of overlapping postpartum autoimmune thyroid disorders and underscores the importance of surveillance when structural thyroid abnormalities coexist.
