Rhinitis in patients with acquired hypothyroidism.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesOur aim was to evaluate the rhinological changes during hypothyroid and euthyroid periods in patients with acquired hypothyroidism. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe newly diagnosed 40 adult patients with hypothyroidism who presented to the Endocrinology clinic at a tertiary hospital were enrolled in the study. Patients having blood thyroid-stimulating hormone levels greater than 4.95 IU/dl were consulted to the ENT clinic. Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation scores, Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow rates and nasal mucociliary clearance time of patients were noted before and 4 months after the oral levothyroxine sodium tablet treatment.
resultsOf the patients included in the study, 34 (85%) were females and 6 (15%) were males. The mean thyroid-stimulating hormone values before the treatment was 10.01 ± 3.31 IU/dl and 4.03 ± 2.45 IU/dl at the end of the treatment. The difference in values was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The mean mucociliary clearance time before treatment was 8.03 ± 3.29 min and 7.35 ± 2.87 min at the end of treatment. The decrease in mucociliary clearance time was statistically significant (p = 0.001). We did not detect any significant difference between pre- and posttreatment values of nasal obstruction symptom evaluation scores and peak nasal inspiratory flow rates.
conclusionThe patients with hypothyroidism have prolonged mucociliary clearance time in hypothyroid period of the disease. Regarding to this data, we may recommend clinicians to follow-up these patients more closely for respiratory tract diseases and sinonasal infections.
