Radioactive iodine therapy for thyroid cancer coexisting with Hashimoto's thyroiditis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in The British journal of radiology, 2024. 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
objectivesTo investigate the clinical character of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) coexisting with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and provide state-of-art evidence for personalized radioactive iodine-131 therapy (RAIT) for patients coexisting with HT.
methodsFrom January 2000 to January 2023, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant original articles that published in English on the RAIT efficacy for DTC with HT. RevMan 5.4 and Stata 17.0 were used for data analysis.
resultsEleven studies involving 16 605 DTC patients (3321 with HT) were included. HT was more frequent in female (OR: 2.90, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.77-4.76, P < .00001). The size of tumour (MD: -0.20, 95% CI: -0.30 to -0.11), extrathyroidal extension rate (OR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.67-0.90), and metastasis rate (OR: 0.18, 95% CI: 0.08-0.41) were less in HT, but tumour, node, metastasis (TNM) stage had no significant difference among HT and non-HT group. Disease-free survival (DFS) rate (OR: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.57-2.44, P < .00001), 5-year DFS (OR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.04-2.89, P = .04), and 10-year DFS (OR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.17-2.09, P = .003) were higher in HT group. The recurrent (OR: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.45-0.83, P = .002), RAIT dosage (MD = -38.71, 95% CI: -60.86 to -16.56, P = .0006), and treatment (MD: -0.13, 95% CI: -0.22 to -0.03, P = .008) were less in HT group.
conclusionsDTC coexisting with HT was associated with less invasion. DFS of HT group was higher than non-HT group after RAIT. Low-dose treatment did not impair the efficacy of RAIT in DTC with HT. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a risk for DTC, but it minimalizes the progression of cancer and enhance the efficacy of RAIT, which should be considered in personalizing RAIT.
