Radiation induced thyroid carcinoma in Romania - effects of the Chernobyl fallout, a systematic review of observational studies.
Review in Clujul medical (1957), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionThe development of thyroid carcinoma is a complex process, in which both genetic and environmental factors play an important role. The rising incidence of thyroid neoplasm determines researchers to investigate factors implicated in this phenomenon. This article aims to elucidate the effects of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster on the Romanian population, studying the existing literature on radiation induced thyroid carcinoma. We analyzed the main studies published on this matter.
methodsWe used the PubMed and Google Scholar databases to search for articles upon the effects of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster on the incidence of thyroid carcinoma in the Romanian population. After a careful review of the existing literature, we selected the relevant and accessible studies, the first observation being that data on thyroid related effects of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster are scarce.
resultsFrom the selected studies, results show that there is a possible link between the Chernobyl fallout and the incidence of thyroid carcinoma. Multiple factors have been studied that play an important role in the increasing number of thyroid carcinoma cases, such as: better diagnostic techniques, incidentalomas, microcarcinomas and radiation exposure. In consequence it is difficult to measure the influence that the Chernobyl nuclear fallout has on thyroid carcinoma incidence.
conclusionEspecially in pediatric patients, there seems to be a convincing evidence of radiation related thyroid carcinoma, while in adult patients the rising incidence due exclusively to nuclear fallout is not that clear. Further studies must be done on this matter to clearly see the influence radiation has on the incidence of thyroid cancer.
