Effects of a diet plus exercise program on thyroid function in patients with obesity.
Article in Metabolism open, 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
backgroundStudies of thyroid function after diet-induced weight loss in patients with obesity have yielded conflicting results. It is not known whether adding exercise to diet affects thyroid function in this patient population. The aim of the study was to prospectively evaluate the effects of a rehabilitation program on weight, body composition and thyroid function in euthyroid patients with obesity.
methodsSerum levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), and free triiodothyronine (FT3) in euthyroid patients with severe obesity were analyzed before and at the end of a 3-month rehabilitation program. Relationships between body weight or composition and changes in thyroid function were also investigated. Each study participant acted as his/her own control.
resultsThe study population consisted of 34 euthyroid patients with obesity (18 men and 16 women; mean ± SD age: 51 ± 12). The mean BMI was 49.3 ± 12.4 kg/m
conclusionA 3-month rehabilitation program combining diet and exercise produced weight and fat mass losses without inducing thyroid dysfunction in patients with obesity.
