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

Iodine is a micronutrient that is essential for thyroid hormone production. Adequate iodine intake is especially important during pregnancy and early life, when brain development is dependent on thyroid hormones. Iodine intake recommendations vary around the world, but most recommendations generally reflect the increased requirements during pregnancy and lactation, although adequate iodine intake before pregnancy is also important. Tremendous progress has been made in improving iodine intake across the world over the past 30 years, mainly through salt-iodization programmes. However, in countries without strong iodine fortification programmes, and with shifts in dietary patterns, a need has arisen for health organizations, governments and clinicians to ensure that adequate iodine is consumed by everyone in the population. For example, in countries in which adequate iodine intake depends on individual food choice, particularly of iodine-rich milk and dairy products, intake can be highly variable and is also vulnerable to changing dietary patterns. In this Review, iodine is considered in the wider context of the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity, the dietary trends for salt restriction for cardiovascular health and the increasing uptake of plant-based diets.
