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

Objective: Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) patients frequently present with coexisting autoimmune diseases (ADs), adding complexity to management and outcomes. Although this field has been extensively explored, there is a paucity of bibliometric analyses capable of clarifying worldwide research trajectories, identifying major hotspots, and outlining prospective directions. Methods: This study extracted data from PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, and Scopus, analyzing 2,201 publications published between 1980 and 2024. Data visualization was performed using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the bibliometrix R package. Results: The analysis encompassed 95 countries, 2,561 institutions, and 10,355 authors, with publications across 769 sources. The United States led in the number of published articles, while the University of Pisa emerged as the most productive institution. The Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the literature on AD and AIT, offering insights into global research trends and current hotspots, while suggesting future directions for further investigation.
