Update on lacrimal apparatus dysfunction associated with differentiated thyroid cancer after I-131 therapy.
Review in International ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThe most prevalent lacrimal apparatus dysfunctions associated with differentiated thyroid cancer(DTC) after I-131 therapy are dry eye and nasolacrimal duct obstruction(NLDO), leading to ocular discomfort and lower quality of life for patients. It is crucial to diagnose and manage lacrimal apparatus dysfunction associated with I-131 therapy for DTC. Therefore, this review aims to comprehensively summarize and analyze the advances in mechanisms and therapeutic options underlying lacrimal apparatus dysfunction induced by I-131 therapy for DTC.
methodsA comprehensive search of CNKI, PubMed, and Wed of Science was performed from the database to December of 2023. Key search terms were "Thyroid cancer", "I-131", "Complications", "Dry eye", "Epiphora", "Tear", "Nasolacrimal duct" and "NLDO".
resultsThe research indicates that I-131 therapy for DTC causes damage to the lacrimal glands and nasolacrimal duct system, resulting in symptoms such as dry eye, epiphora, and mucoid secretions. Moreover, recent research has focused on exploring relevant risk factors of the condition and experimental and clinical treatments. However, there is some controversy regarding the mechanisms involved, whether it is due to the passive flow of I-131 in tears, active uptake of I-131 by the sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) in the lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal duct, or secondary metabolic and hormonal disturbances caused by I-131.
conclusionIt is crucial for early detection and preventive measures by ophthalmologists and the need for further studies to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the disease.
