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
backgroundHyperthyreoidism due to Graves' disease is a rare disorder in pediatric practice. There is 2 treatment options in Graves' disease: medical treatment and definitive treatment, including surgery and radioactive iodine. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. If medical therapy is ineffective the choice between radical treatment method is raised: radioactive iodine or total thyroidectomy. In this research we analyze treatment outcomes in pediatric Graves' disease patients after different radical treatment methods.
aimComparative analysis of radical treatment outcomes in pediatric patients with Graves' disease. MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective and prospective one-center research of 122 patients with Graves' disease after radical treatment (between 2016 and 2021)
resultsThe mean age was 13.5±3,5 year at the moment of examination. Patients were divided into 2 groups due to the radical treatments method: 1 group (n=60) were children after surgical treatment, 2 group (n=62) - after radioactive iodine. The mean dose of medical treatment in these groups did not reliably differ (p=0,06), duration of the medical treatment was reliably longer in patients after radioactive iodine (p=0,024). Graves' orbitopathy was diagnosed in 58 patients (47,5%) and met equally often in both groups, but active stage of Graves' orbitopathy was diagnosed only in patients from the 1st group. Thyroid size was reliable bigger in patients from the 1st group (p=0,004), and thyroid gland nodes were diagnosed only in patients from 1st group (p=0,0007).
conclusionRI can be considered an effective and safe treatment for GD. The effectiveness of RI depends on the volume of the thyroid gland; according to the results of the constructed ROC curve, the risk of repeated RI is higher with a volume of more than 55 cm3. Also radioactive iodine is undesirable if there is signs of ophatalmopathy due to its possible deterioration. According to the results of the study hypoparathyroidism after surgical treatment was diagnosed in 20%, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury was diagnosed after surgical treatment in 5% of patients. In patients with identified nodular goiter according to the results of ultrasound, surgical treatment is preferable due to the impossibility of excluding thyroid cancer.
