Disorders of Dental Hard Tissues Induced by Radioiodine-131 (I-131) Therapy Used in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: An In Vitro Study.
Article in Biomedicines, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This study aimed to evaluate, in vitro, the effects of I-131 on enamel and dentin in healthy human incisive permanent maxillary teeth. Our in vitro model analogue with the in vivo conditions of differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients treated with I-131, consisted in a solution of I-131 dissolved in artificial saliva. A total of 48 teeth were divided into eight groups (n = 6): control, irradiation groups at 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 192 h, respectively. At the end of radiation exposure, radioiodine activity of specimens was assessed. Fine microstructure, nanostructure, surface roughness, and hidroxyapatite (HAP) crystallite diameter were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) to both enamel and dentin structures. There is a constant increase of radioactivity in dental structures at 3, 6, 12, 24 h, due to progressive retention and I-131 migration, with a maximum at 36 h. Enamel showed notable alterations, which was correlated with the increase of the treatment time. A relevant visible distance between the HAP prisms was observed after 24 h. The surface suffered a loss in its compact structure. I-131 acts in the same way on HAP crystallites in dentin as in those in enamel. It was noticed that their morpho-dimensional changes occurred only after 12 h of treatment. Radioiodine-131 determines degradation of enamel and dentin by starting from the alteration of the crystalline network of HAP prisms, transforming them from compact materials into an agglomeration of rocky submicron structures.
