Body mass index and incidence of thyroid cancer in Korea: the Korean Cancer Prevention Study-II.
Article in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe prevalence of thyroid cancer and obesity has increased worldwide. However, their association has remained controversial and few studies have been performed in Asia. Our study evaluated the correlation between the incidence of thyroid cancer and body mass index (BMI) in Korea.
methodsThis is a multi-centered, prospective cohort study from the Korean Cancer Prevention Study-II. A total of 141,157 individuals between 1994 and 2012, including 1546 newly developed thyroid cancer patients, were enrolled. Subjects were divided into four groups on the BMI. Person-years, incidence rate, and hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using the Cox proportional hazard model.
resultsThe increasing trends of HRs of thyroid cancer in men and women younger than 50 years of age were observed as BMI increased (P trend <0.001 in both groups). However, in women older than 50 years of age, there was no association between thyroid cancer incidence and BMI.
conclusionsOur findings suggest that positive association between thyroid cancer incidence and high BMI in men and women under 50 years old. Based on these results, we suggest that obese men and women under 50 years old are better to be considered for the higher possibility of thyroid cancer development, and more efforts are needed to control weight gain.
