Treatment Discontinuation within 3 Years of Levothyroxine Initiation among Children Diagnosed with Congenital Hypothyroidism.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectivesTo measure the rates of thyroid gland imaging and levothyroxine (L-T STUDY
designThis is a retrospective analysis of claims data from the IBM MarketScan Databases for children born between 2010 and 2016 and continuously enrolled in a noncapitated employer-sponsored private health insurance plan or in Medicaid for ≥36 months from the date of the first filled L-T
resultsThere were 263 privately insured and 241 Medicaid-enrolled children who met the inclusion criteria. More privately insured than Medicaid-enrolled children had imaging between the first filled prescription and 180 days after the last filled prescription (24.3% vs 12.9%; P = .001). By 36 months, 35.7% discontinued L-T
conclusionsNearly one-third of children with suspected congenital hypothyroidism discontinued L-T
