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

Hyperthyroidism causes impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance (IR) and insulin secretion. However, the glucose variability affected by thyroid dysfunction remains unclear. Glucose variability was assessed by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in a non-diabetic patient with Graves' disease (GD), to the best of our knowledge, for the first time. A 28-year-old man with GD, who had been taking methimazole for 4 years, was treated with radioiodine on August 17th 2016. Although the patient exhibited normal glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c; 5.3%) and blood glucose values during the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT; fasting and 120 min blood glucose were 5.38 and 6.39 mmol/l, respectively) before radioiodine therapy, CGM exhibited high 24 h mean glucose and nocturnal hyperglycemia. An increased fasting insulin level, suppressed levels of blood glucagon and high homeostatic model assessment of IR were also observed. The disordered glucose metabolism improved as soon as the patient's thyroid function turned to hypothyroidism 4 months after radioiodine therapy. The glucose intolerance in patients with hyperthyroidism, missed by the OGTT and HbA1c tests, may be more common than anticipated.
