Organic Psychosis Secondary to Untreated Graves' Disease: A Case Report.
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
Hyperthyroidism is characterized by elevated circulating thyroid hormone levels with suppressed levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Common manifestations include weight loss, tremor, palpitations, and heat intolerance, while psychosis is a rare neuropsychiatric manifestation. We report the case of a 47-year-old woman who presented with a three-month history of worsening irritability, destructive behavior, irrelevant speech, and multiple delusions, including grandiose, persecutory, and erotomanic types. She also exhibited excessive spending behavior, increased energy, and a reduced need for sleep. Further history revealed symptoms suggestive of untreated hyperthyroidism for three years before presentation. Physical examination showed exophthalmos, goiter, tachycardia, and mild hypertension. Thyroid function tests confirmed thyrotoxicosis, and she was diagnosed with organic psychosis secondary to Graves' disease. Despite treatment with antithyroid medication and beta-blockers, thyrotoxicosis and psychotic symptoms initially persisted. Adjunctive treatment with lithium, combined with psychotropic medication, resulted in marked biochemical and clinical improvement. This report highlights psychosis as a rare manifestation of untreated hyperthyroidism and emphasizes the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management involving both endocrinology and psychiatry.
