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

Iatrogenic subclinical hyperthyroidism is induced intentionally in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer to reduce the risk of tumor recurrence. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the effect of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppressive therapy on bone mineral density in men and women. Two cohorts of endocrine cancer patients were compared. In cohort A, 42 patients with long-lasting suppressed serum TSH were assessed. Cohort B consisted of 41 euthyroid patients. Bone density was measured in the L1-L4 lumbar vertebrae of all patients using PET/CT scans performed for cancer staging. In 17 patients of cohort A who received a second PET/CT scan, bone density was measured again to provide longitudinal analysis. A non-significant difference in age (p = .572) and equal distribution of sex (p = .916) was determined when comparing both cohorts. A significant difference (p = .011) with a moderate effect (η
