Carbohydrate-rich Meals Have no Impact on Post-prandial Lipid Parameters in Indians with Subclinical and Overt Primary Hypothyroidism.
Article in European endocrinology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsThe impact of altered cholesterol metabolism on post-prandial lipids in Indians with hypothyroidism is not known. This study evaluated the impact of overt primary hypothyroidism (OPH) and subclinical hypothyroidism (ScH) on post-prandial lipids after a standardised, carbohydrate-rich, mixed meal.
methodsEndocrinology outpatients were screened for possible inclusion into the study. Patients >18 years of age with hypothyroidism who were not taking levothyroxine and who did not present with any comorbidities underwent biochemical evaluation following a carbohydrate-rich, mixed meal. Assessments included total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides, lipoprotein-A (Lp-A), apolipoprotein-A1 (apo-A1), apolipoprotein-B (apo-B), insulin and fasting glucose. Assessments were carried out 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours after the meal. Patients were compared against healthy matched controls recruited from healthcare professionals in the hospital (asymptomatic and apparently healthy nursing staff, reception staff and ward staff).
resultsData from 194 patients (161 with ScH and 33 with OPH) and 40 euthyroid controls were analysed. Anthropometry, body mass index, glycaemia and insulin resistance were comparable among patients with OPH and ScH, and controls. LDL-C and Lp-A were significantly higher in those with OPH, compared with ScH and controls, at baseline, 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours after mixed meal consumption (all p<0.05). There was progressive and similar decline in post-prandial TC, LDL-C and Lp-A in all three groups. Triglycerides were similar among the OPH, ScH and control groups, both in fasting and post-prandial state, with a progressive and similar increase in post-prandial triglycerides in all three groups.
conclusionThis study demonstrated that severity of hypothyroidism had no impact on post-prandial TC, LDL-C and Lp-A. In addition, hypothyroidism had no impact on post-prandial triglycerides. Therefore, we conclude that lipid profile can be reliably estimated in a non-fasting state in individuals with ScH and OPH.
