Decreased deiodinase activity after glucose load could lead to atherosclerosis in euthyroid women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Article in Endocrine, 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
objectiveGlucose and lipid disturbances, as well as higher tendency to atherosclerosis, are observed in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Thyroid hormones action has long been recognized as an important determinant of glucose and lipid homeostasis. Some studies suggest that even in euthyroid subjects, thyroid function may affect atherosclerosis risk factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationships between thyroid hormonal status and glucose and lipid profile before and after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in PCOS women in comparison to the control group. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe study group included 98 women-60 women with PCOS and 38 women matched for age and BMI as a control group. OGTT with estimation of plasma glucose and lipids, as well as serum insulin and thyroid hormones (TH) concentrations was performed. Activity of peripheral deiodinases at baseline (SPINA-GD1) and at the 120 min of OGTT (SPINA-GD2) was calculated according to the formula by Dietrich et al. as a measure of T4-T3 conversion efficiency. Delta GD was estimated as SPINA-GD1-SPINA-GD2, and delta fT3 was calculated as a difference between fT3 before and after OGTT.
resultsWe did not find differences in TH, SPINA-GDs, and plasma lipid concentrations between PCOS and control group before and after OGTT. Glucose load resulted in a decrease of level TSH, TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C concentrations in women with PCOS, as well as in the control group (all p < 0.05). We found that GD (p = 0.01) and serum fT3 concentration (p = 0.0008) decreased during glucose load only in the PCOS group. We observed a positive relationship between delta fT3 and plasma TG concentration (r = 0.36, p = 0.004), delta GD and plasma TG concentration after glucose load (r = 0.34, p = 0.007), only in the PCOS group. We also found negative relationship between SPINA-GD2 and plasma TC concentration (r = -0.29, p = 0.02) after glucose load and positive relationship between delta GD and insulin at the 60 min of OGTT (r = 0.29, p = 0.02), only in the PCOS women.
conclusionsThese data showed insufficient conversion of fT4 to fT3, as well as a relationship of SPINA-GDs with insulin, TC and TG in PCOS women after glucose load. It may suggest that disturbances in deiodinase activity after glucose load might promote atherosclerosis in PCOS women.
