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

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of primary hypothyroidism (HT), as well as any correlation between dosimetric parameters and thyroid dysfunctions after neck radiotherapy (RT) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. Materials and methods: This study retrospectively reviewed HNC patients who finished neck RT for at least 12 months and who had available back-up treatment information. Eligible patients further received a single thyroid function test (TFT). Dosimetric parameters of the thyroid glands were retrospectively evaluated in order to detect any correlation between dose-volume parameters and primary HT. Results: We reviewed 1,102 HNC patients. Accordingly, 64 patients were deemed eligible and were included in this study. The median time interval between RT completion and TFT was 21 months (interquartile range, 14-34 months), while 26 patients (40.6%) were diagnosed with HT. The thyroid volume spared from a dose of 50 Gy (VS50 Conclusion: In our study, VS50
