1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by persistent thyroid inflammation. Patients with HT may benefit from anti-inflammatory strategies. This study was designed to examine the combined impact of an anti-inflammatory diet and curcumin supplementation on inflammatory markers in individuals with HT. In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 57 individuals diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) in Tehran, Iran, were recruited and randomly allocated to two intervention arms. One group received an anti-inflammatory diet in conjunction with 1500 mg of curcumin daily, while the other group followed the same diet but was administered a placebo. Inflammatory biomarkers including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) were measured at the start of the study and again following a 12-week supplementation period to assess the additive effect of curcumin. Curcumin supplementation resulted in a reduction in IL-6 (-5.28 ± 9.75,
