The Association Between Serum Thyrotropin Within the Reference Range and Metabolic Syndrome in a Community-Based Chinese Population.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2020. 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
purposeWe aimed to ascertain the association between thyrotropin (TSH) levels in euthyroid state and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a community-based Chinese population. PARTICIPANTS AND
methodsBased on a large and well-characterized community cohort in Beijing, China, 1831 men and 1742 women with serum TSH levels within the reference range (0.50-4.78 µIU/mL) were stratified by quartiles of TSH (Q1-4). MetS was identified according to the criteria of International Diabetes Federation guidelines. Poisson regression models were used to estimate the association between serum TSH and the prevalence of MetS and its components before and after adjustment for potential confounding factors. The reported association was measured using the prevalence ratio (PR) with its respective 95% confidence interval (95% CI).
resultsThe prevalence of MetS in euthyroid population across TSH quartiles (Q1-4) was 38.9%, 44.6%, 41.0%, and 47.7%, respectively, in men (
conclusionThe prevalence of MetS and most of its components increased in the higher TSH group in euthyroid Chinese population.
