The effect of hypothyroidism on referential background metabolic activity on
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2021. 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
backgroundBackground uptake activity is used as a reference to assess treatment response by positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) with 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoro- D-glucose (
methodsWe recruited 36 patients with hypothyroidism and 36 age and gender-matched euthyroid participants. We recorded patient factors and background mean standardized uptake values normalized by lean body mass from the aortic blood pool, liver, and muscle. We compared the patient factors and background standardized uptake values normalized by lean body mass between hypothyroidism patients and the controls. We performed a multivariate analysis to determine the best predictors of the 3 different background standardized uptake values normalized by lean body mass.
resultsPatients with hypothyroidism had higher liver standardized uptake values normalized by lean body mass (1.77±0.33
conclusionsPET/CT scans showed that hypothyroidism patients had increased liver and blood-pool
