Cancer incidence and mortality following treatment of hyperthyroidism with radioactive iodine.
Review in Current opinion in endocrinology, diabetes, and obesity, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purpose of reviewHyperthyroidism is a commonly encountered clinical issue. Radioactive iodine is one of the treatment modalities employed over the last 80 years. Prior studies are conflicting as to whether radioactive iodine is associated with an increased risk of subsequent malignancy and associated mortality. The present article reviews recent publications on this subject. RECENT
findingsTwo recent studies make meaningful contributions to the existing literature; however, data remain inconsistent. The first, conducted using the Clalit Health Services database, evaluated solid tumor incidence after radioactive iodine and found no association with increased risk of solid tumor malignancy. The second, which is an updated analysis of the Cooperative Thyrotoxicosis Therapy Follow-up Study, concluded that there is a dose-dependent increased risk of solid tumor mortality using a novel method of estimating organ-specific radiation exposure. SUMMARY: In patients with hyperthyroidism, radioactive iodine is a popular and effective treatment option. Prior studies reach conflicting conclusions on the potential relationship between radioactive iodine and both subsequent cancer incidence and mortality. We review recent publications that add to our understanding of this important clinical question.
