Predictive value of technetium-99m sodium pertechnetate thyroid scintigraphy in determining the permanence of congenital hypothyroidism.
Article in Journal of clinical imaging science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objectives: We aim to investigate the predictive value of [ Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis of [ Results: The study included 85 subjects, with 74 (87.1%) presenting with eutopic thyroid and 11 (12.9%) showing thyroid dysgenesis. Patients with scintigraphic evidence of thyroid dysgenesis required permanent thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Among the patients with eutopic thyroid, a higher TSH level was associated with the need for lifelong thyroid hormone replacement therapy (cutoff TSH value 18.72 mIU/L, sensitivity 77.3% and specificity 53.8%). Gender, gestational age, and fT4 did not show significant differences between the transient and permanent CH groups in patients with eutopic thyroid. Conclusion: Scintigraphic findings of thyroid dysgenesis indicate a high prevalence of permanent CH. In patients with eutopic thyroid, higher TSH levels predict the requirement for lifelong thyroid hormone replacement therapy. These results provide insights into the prediction of CH and aid in individualized treatment decisions for patients with CH.
