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

Quercetin is the most abundant flavonoid present in fruits and vegetables. For its antiproliferative, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidants activities, it is an active ingredient of several herbal remedies and is available as a nutraceutical. Experimental studies performed in vitro have demonstrated that quercetin inhibits growth and function in normal thyroid cells and may act as a thyroid disruptor. These effects have also been confirmed in vivo using rodent models. Some studies have reported the ability of quercetin to interfere with the metabolism of thyroid hormones, since it inhibits the 5'-deiodinase type 1 (D1) activity in the thyroid, as well as in the liver. Besides the effects on normal thyroid cells, several experiments performed in vitro have shown a potential therapeutic role of quercetin in thyroid cancer. Indeed, quercetin inhibits the growth, the adhesion and the migration of thyroid cancer cells, and it also has redifferentiation properties in some thyroid cancer cell lines. In conclusion, these data suggest that, although its effects can be of benefit in hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer, caution is required in the use of high doses of quercetin due to its anti-thyroid properties. Further in vivo studies are certainly needed to confirm these hypotheses.
