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

The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and to explore the significance of FT3 in HDL-C metabolism in people with normal thyroid function.A total of 461 Chinese, aged ≥28 years, from a college community in Nanning, Guangxi, were enrolled for a cross-sectional epidemiological investigation of metabolic syndrome from October 2016 to November 2016. Height, weight, blood pressure, total cholesterol, HDL-C, triglyceride (TG), fasting glucose (FPG), FT3, FT4, and TSH were measured for each individual. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between FT3, FT4, TSH, and HDL-C.After controlling for sex, age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, drinking, and other confounding factors, FT3 was negatively correlated with HDL-C levels, on average, when FT3 increased by 1 pmol/L, HDL-C decreased by 0.143 mmol /L with a statistically significant difference (P < .001). FT4 was positively correlated with HDL-C, and HDL-C increased by 0.016 mmol/L for every 1-pmol/L increase in FT4. TSH was negatively correlated with HDL-C, and HDL-C decreases by 0.010 mmol/L for every 1-μIU/mL increase in TSH, but the differences were not statistically significant (P > .05).FT3 may be an important factor affecting HDL-C levels. The detection and regulation of thyroid hormone (especially FT3) in patients with low HDL-C, as well as the detection of HDL-C in patients with thyroid dysfunction, is important to prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
