Effects of radioiodine therapy on fertility indicators among men with differentiated thyroid cancer: A cohort study.
Article in International journal of reproductive biomedicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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: Following thyroidectomy, radioiodine therapy is the standard management of differentiated thyroid cancer. The effects of such treatment on testicular function remained a concern for cases and clinicians. Objective: We aimed to observe changes in fertility indicators in men treated with ablation. Materials and Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 18 men with differentiated thyroid cancer from June to December 2020 underwent thyroidectomy plus radioiodine therapy. Participants were grouped based on iodine dose (8 men with 30 mCi vs. 10 men with Results: The mean age of participants was 35.61 Conclusion: Our research showed that even less than 5 GBq irradiation could induce a transient testicular dysfunction in the first 3 months of therapy, but it was mostly reversible after 12 months.
