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

We performed this study to evaluate the correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and Exposure Rate (ER) of hyperthyroid patients treated with iodine-131 so that in case of any relationship, we can improve the prescribed dose for the treatment of hyperthyroid patients and its side effects on the body and the environment. In this analytical and cross-sectional study, 30 patients with hyperthyroidism treated with liquid iodine-131 were randomly selected. We recorded demographic indicators (age, height, and weight) and ER. Patients were treated with the activity of 8-29 mCi (mean 14.4 mCi) oral I-131. The external radiation of patients was measured from a distance of one meter parallel to the patient's thyroid gland at intervals of 6 to 24 hours post-iodine-131 administration. ER measurements and other acquired data were statistically analyzed by R software and its methods. Data were normalized using the Shapiro method, and due to the non-normality of the data in the correlation test, the Spearman method was used. The measurements of this study represent two main findings: 1. There is a significant relationship between ER and iodine-131 activity because the observed significance level (
