Hypothyroidism following gastric sleeve surgery resolved by ingesting crushed thyroxine tablets.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Bariatric procedures for weight loss have increased in the past few decades. Levothyroxine malabsorption has been reported following gastric bypass; however, few studies have addressed this issue after gastric sleeve procedures. Levothyroxine dosing is usually weight based and administered at approximately 1.6 μg/kg body weight. Absorption occurs mainly in the jejunum and upper ileum, which can be altered by gastric pH, other drugs, food, and other factors. We present a 35-year-old woman with longstanding iatrogenic hypothyroidism treated with thyroxine, whose thyroid-stimulating hormone level rose following a gastric sleeve procedure despite taking levothyroxine daily.
