Radioiodine treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer despite history of 'iodine allergy'.
Article in Endocrinology, diabetes & metabolism case reports, 2014. 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
unlabelledRadioiodine ((131)I) is a critical component in the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer. We recently saw a patient with thyroid cancer who was hesitant to take (131)I treatment because he had previously encountered an allergic reaction to administration of iodine-containing radiocontrast agent for computed tomography (CT) scanning. We were able to administer (131)I treatment after discussion that his anaphylactic reaction was not due to iodine and that radioiodine ((131)I) treatment is unlikely to cause a reaction in the patient. LEARNING POINTS: An allergy to iodine itself does not exist.When patients claim that they have an 'iodine allergy', ask them what substances they are allergic to and what kind of reaction occurred during use of such substances.Radioactive iodine is not a contraindication for patients who claim an 'allergy to iodine'.
