1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most common form of primary hypothyroidism. Several muscular manifestations like pain, weakness, stiffness and elevated muscle enzymes have been noticed in hypothyroidism. Alcohol is also known to cause myositis and rhabdomyolysis. Patients with thyroid should avoid certain foods like broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage as they contain goitrogens. This is a case of a young man who presented with severe muscle aches and pain and was found to have rhabdomyolysis. Further evaluation revealed an underlying HT. Moreover, he had been consuming raw broccoli, which is goitrogenic, and alcohol which worsened the rhabdomyolysis. He was managed with levothyroxine and intravenous fluids, following which he improved.
