Immune-Related Thyroiditis in Patients with Advanced Lung Cancer Treated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: Imaging Features and Clinical Implications.

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
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are widely used in advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment, and the immune-related adverse events involving many organs have been recognized. This article investigated the incidence and imaging characteristics of immune-related thyroiditis in NSCLC patients and correlated the findings with clinical features. A total of 534 NSCLC patients treated with ICI were included. Imaging findings indicative of thyroiditis included changes in morphology and attenuation on restaging chest CT scans and FDG uptake on PET/CT during ICI therapy. Fifty patients (9.4%) had imaging findings indicative of thyroiditis. The median time to onset was 9.5 weeks (range: 0.9-87.4 weeks). The most common finding was diffuse hypoattenuation of the gland (72%), with enlargement in 15 and atrophy in 12 patients. Heterogeneous attenuation of the gland was noted in 12 patients (24%), with enlargement in 7 and atrophy in 1 patient. Two patients (4%) showed increased FDG uptake in the gland on PET/CT without changes in the CT scan. Twenty-two patients who had both clinical and radiologic diagnoses of thyroiditis were more frequently managed with hormone replacement than those with thyroiditis without an imaging abnormality (
