Oxidative DNA damage and DNA repair gene variants in differentiated thyroid cancer patients treated with radioactive iodine.
Article in Endocrine, 2025. 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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate oxidative DNA damage and its association with polymorphisms in DNA repair enzymes among patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) treated with high-dose radioactive iodine (RAI, ≥100 mCi). Relationships between DNA damage markers, gene variants, and clinical or tumor characteristics were also explored.
methodsSeventy-nine patients with DTC and 59 age and sex matched controls from a Turkish population were included. Urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxoG), a marker of oxidative DNA damage, was measured by ELISA at baseline, 2 weeks, and 3 months post-RAI. Genotyping for hOGG1 Ser326Cys and APE1 Asp148Glu polymorphisms was performed on leukocyte-derived DNA using real-time PCR and melting curve analysis.
resultsUrinary 8-oxoG levels showed a non-significant upward trend over time (p = 0.252). The Cys/Cys genotype of hOGG1 was more frequent in patients than controls (13 vs. 6%, p = 0.54), while the Ser/Cys genotype was significantly less frequent in patients (36.7 vs. 57.6%; OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.22-0.94, p = 0.03). Cys allele frequencies were 0.32 in patients and 0.35 in controls. APE1 genotype and allele distributions did not differ significantly between groups. No associations were found between polymorphisms and 8-oxoG levels or clinical features, including DTC subtype, tumor stage, sex, smoking status, or age.
conclusionThis is the first study to jointly evaluate urinary 8-oxoG and hOGG1/APE1 polymorphisms in Turkish DTC patients receiving RAI. No consistent associations were found with oxidative DNA damage or clinical characteristics. Larger studies are needed to validate these findings.
