Iodinated contrast media and their effect on thyroid function - Routines and practices among diagnostic imaging departments in Norway.
Article in Journal of medical radiation sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionIn order to minimise adverse effects or patient injuries related to the effect of iodinated contrast media (ICM) on the thyroid, international guidelines and research recommend developing routines for identification and management of patients at risk of developing a thyroid dysfunction. This study aimed to investigate thyroid-related ICM administration practices among diagnostic imaging departments in Norway.
methodsThe cross-sectional survey included 24 hospitals and 75 respondents with a 69% response rate. The survey covered practices for assessment and management of at-risk patients and the participants' perceived rationale for the routines.
resultsThe use of written checklists as recommended by international guidelines was quite modest (15%) and the respondents preferred various methods to identify risk and contraindications. Only 20% reported checking for any scheduled thyroid-scintigraphy and/or radioactive-iodine therapy. 42% indicated that they did not have thyroid-related ICM routines, and the main perceived reason was lack of knowledge on the topic. Radiographers and radiologists expressed uncertainty about each other's roles and routines.
conclusionThis study revealed the need of optimisation of routines regarding ICM administration to patients at risk for thyroid dysfunction.
