Mixed Medullary and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in a Patient on Tirzepatide.
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
Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) stems from thyroid parafollicular C cells and is considered a rare type of neuroendocrine tumor. It can be inherited as part of syndromes, such as familial medullary thyroid cancer (FMTC) and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2), or it can arise sporadically. GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs (GLP1 RA), like semaglutide and tirzepatide, carry an FDA black box warning against using them in patients who have a prior history or a family history of MTC or MEN2. This recommendation stems from rodent studies showing thyroid C-cell tumors. Current studies have not confirmed an association between GLP1RAs and risk of differentiated thyroid cancer in human studies. In addition, there is no consensus on screening or evaluating patients for thyroid cancer prior to or during treatment with GLP1 RA. Here, we report a case of mixed medullary and papillary thyroid carcinoma newly diagnosed in a 68-year-old female on tirzepatide for type 2 diabetes who presented with a neck mass.
