Pitfalls of Iodine-131 Whole-Body Scan Mimicking Metastases in Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma: A Case Series.

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
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignant tumor and accounts for 1% of all cancers. Management of differentiated thyroid carcinoma is total thyroidectomy, followed by iodine-131 (I-131) radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy for thyroid remnant tissue. I-131 whole-body scan helps in the follow-up evaluation in remnant, residual, and recurrence cases. Principle of uptake of I-131 is through sodium-iodide symporter expression on the cells. Physiological uptake of iodine is usually seen in salivary glands and gastrointestinal tract, and false-positive uptakes are seen in lesions such as mucinous cystadenoma, struma ovarii, hepatic, renal, thymic, and meibomian cysts. Here, we present the review of literature of series of cases observed in our department presenting with false-positive uptake of RAI in vertebral hemangioma, lipoma, sinusitis, teratoma, and uterine leiomyoma.
