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

purposeThe aim of the presented study was to evaluate the prevalence of isolated hyperthyrotropinemia (IH) in obese children and the relation between anthropometric and metabolic parameters.

methodsHospital records of the children, who presented to the Pediatric Endocrinology outpatient clinic of our institution with obesity, and age and gender-matched healthy children, who had undergone thyroid function test for any reason were retrospectively reviewed.

resultsThe prevalence of IH was significantly higher in the obese group than in the controls (9.2 and 3.8 %, respectively). Body mass index-standard deviation score (BMI-SDS), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), lipid parameters were significantly different in the obese group than in the control group. A positive correlation between TSH and BMI-SDS and negative correlation between TSH and free T4 (fT4) levels were found in obese subjects. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis confirmed that BMI-SDS, fT4 and triglyceride levels were the strongest independent variables correlated with TSH level in obese subjects (r (2) = 0.046, p = 0.001).

conclusionsIH prevalence is higher in obese children as compared to healthy children and the increase in TSH level correlates negatively with serum fT4 and positively with BMI-SDS and triglyceride levels in obese children.
