1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Normal thyroid hormone level is essential to maintain the normal physiologic function of the human body. Disturbances of these hormone levels have variable clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic to severe illness. Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a syndrome characterized by reduced intracellular action of T3, the active thyroid hormone. It is a rare autosomal dominant condition and occurs mostly due to heterogeneous mutations in the thyroid hormone receptor. Other causes of RTH include thyroid hormone cell membrane transport defect and thyroid hormone metabolism defect. Affected individuals present with symptoms of both increased and decreased thyroid hormone action, depending on the tissue's predominant receptor isoform expression, the magnitude of hormonal resistance, and the effectiveness of compensatory mechanisms. Here, we share our experience in diagnosing a case of RTH confirmed with a genetic test and found to have sequence variant mutation that is not well described in the literature previously due to the absence of genetic conclusive evidence.
