Metabolic Changes after Radioiodine Correction of Grade 1 and Grade 2 Subclinical Hyperthyroidism.
Article in European thyroid journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveEndogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism (eSCH) is defined by subnormal serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level. There is limited evidence of metabolic changes induced by eSCH. The aim of our work was to evaluate changes in BMI and lipid parameters after radioiodine treatment in patients with grade 1 (TSH: 0.1-0.39 mlU/L) and 2 (TSH <0.1 mlU/L) eSCH.
designA retrospective study was performed on 74 patients with eSCH caused by benign autonomous nodular goiter which was treated with radioiodine.
methodsWe assessed BMI, lipids parameters, and TSH after radioiodine therapy. The 12-month follow-up time point was used to compare the primary outcome variables. TSH was measured by the electrochemiluminescence method.
resultsAfter radioiodine therapy, the absolute and relative increases in BMI at 12 months were significantly higher in the grade 2 group than in the grade 1 group (1.07 ± 0.27 kg/m
conclusionsAfter correction of eSCH, increases in BMI and LDL levels were observed only in patients with grade 2 eSCH. Pretreatment serum TSH was the main independent factor associated with BMI changes after radioiodine treatment.
