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

introductionThyroxine is essential for nervous system development. Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), also known as mild thyroid failure, is associated with impaired cognitive function in children and mood disorders in adults. Serotonin is also involved in brain development as well as in mood and behavior modulation. The possible interaction between thyroid function tests, serum serotonin concentrations, and emotional intelligence (EI) was studied.

methodsA total of 224 schoolchildren from the Peloponnese, Greece, aged 11-19, were included in the study, of whom 26.3% had SCH. Emotional quotients (EQ), such as well-being, self-control, emotionality, and sociability, were assessed using the TEIQue-ASF questionnaire, and TSH, fT4, and serum serotonin concentrations were also evaluated.

resultsChildren and adolescents with SCH had a lower EQ total score (p < 0.001), EQ well-being score (p = 0.025), EQ self-control score (p = 0.029), EQ emotionality score (p = 0.029), and EQ sociability score (p = 0.010) and lower serum serotonin concentrations (p < 0.001).

conclusionsChildren and adolescents with SCH exhibited lower EI scores and lower serum serotonin concentrations when compared with age-matched healthy controls.
