Early predictors of 6-month thyroid-stimulating antibody levels after radioactive iodine therapy for Graves' disease: implications for pregnancy planning.
Article in Endocrine journal, 2026. 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
Current guidelines recommend a 6-month contraception period following radioactive iodine therapy (RAIT) for Graves' disease (GD), based primarily on radiation safety considerations; however, they do not account for the post-treatment surge in thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSAb), which poses risks for fetal and neonatal GD. This retrospective study aimed to identify factors influencing TSAb trajectories and construct a predictive model for TSAb levels at 6 months after RAIT. We analyzed 82 patients who underwent RAIT, with TSAb values standardized to the upper limit of normal (ULN) to account for different assay methods. Multivariable linear regression identified the duration of antithyroid drug and potassium iodide administration, pre-RAIT TSAb levels, changes in TSAb at 3 months (3M), fractional reduction in TW at 3M, and assay method as significant predictors of TSAb levels at 6 months (adjusted R
