Reference Intervals for Serum Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Based on a Recent Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study and Meta-Analysis.

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
Objective: The aim of our study was to compare the reference intervals (RIs) [median (2.5 Design and Methods: Primary data were derived from a recently published cross-sectional study in mainland China. Secondary data were obtained from online databases. The RIs for TSH were calculated in the reference population according to the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry (NACB) standard and in the disease-free population. A meta-analysis of ethnicity- and iodine status-specific TSH RIs was performed. Results: The primary data showed that the TSH RI (mU/L) in the disease-free population was 2.33 (0.67, 7.87), which is wider than the published RI [2.28 (0.74, 7.04)] in the reference population. The meta-analysis showed that whether in the reference or disease-free population, the RIs in Yellows were much higher than those in Caucasians. In the reference population, the median and 2.5 Conclusion: Yellows have a higher TSH RI than Caucasians. In the reference population, both the median and 2.5
