The prevalence and correlation between subclinical hypothyroidism and gall stone disease in Baghdad teaching hospital.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundGall stones are the most common biliary pathology. Subclinical hypothyroidism is not a common problem in the population with thyroid disease, several explanations for a possible relation between hypothyroidism and lipid metabolism, gall stone formation proved that prevalence of gall stones is increased in patients with hypothyroidism disease.
objectiveTo find the prevalence and correlation between the subclinical hypothyroidism and gall stone disease.
methodsThis cross-sectional study in Baghdad teaching hospital which done over the period of January 2015 till December 2015 where 103 patients presented with gall stones as an in and outpatients. All the patients were assessed and prepared for cholecystectomy by detailed history, clinical examination, thyroid function test and abdominal ultrasound.
resultsAmong 103 patients, the majority them were in 36-50 years age group, 84 (81.6%) of them were females and 19 (18.4%) were males. Of the total number of patients, eight of them (7.8%) found to have subclinical hypothyroidism and 95 (92.2%) of them found to be euthyroid, most of patients in the subclinical hypothyroid group were showing female gender predominance with 81.6%. While the prevalence among males were found 18.4%, most patients with subclinical hypothyroidism were found to had positive family history (75%), and (25%) of them found to had negative family history.
conclusionThere is gender specific relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism and gall stone disease as this study sharing statistically increasing in prevalence of the subclinical hypothyroidism among females in age group ≥ 40 years, positive family history, and single abdominal US gall stone. This subset of patients should be assessed for thyroid dysfunction.
