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

Objective: The aim of this observational, cross-sectional study was to investigate physicians' preferences for radioiodine (RAI) treatment in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in Brazil and the factors influencing RAI indications. Materials and methods: A survey was distributed to physicians potentially involved in DTC care in Brazil to understand the factors influencing RAI indications. The survey collected information on the profiles of the physicians, along with the characteristics of their workplaces and their preferences regarding RAI indications in three hypothetical clinical cases. Cases 1, 2, and 3 described the cases of patients with DTC and variations to the case that included different scenarios to assess how the respondents would change their RAI recommendations. The analysis included the RAI indications across different medical specialties. Results: A total of 175 physicians answered the survey. There was considerable variability in RAI recommendations in all three cases. The training background influenced the respondents' preferences for RAI indications and their approaches to preparing patients for RAI treatment. Conclusion: The findings of this study reaffirm the need for a Brazilian consensus among physicians across multiple specialties to help guide health care professionals treating patients with DTC in Brazil.
