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 In this study, we aimed to determine the association between anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibody and dyslipidemia in subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). Materials and methods We conducted a cross-sectional case-control study in the department of medicine at a tertiary care teaching hospital in central India. The study consisted of 150 patients (75 cases and 75 controls) who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results The study showed that serum cholesterol was high in 23.1% of cases in the negative anti-TPO antibody SCH sub-group and 88.7% of cases in the positive anti-TPO antibody SCH sub-group (p<0.001). Serum triglyceride (TG) levels were high in 61.5% of cases in the negative anti-TPO antibody SCH sub-group and 90.3% of cases in the positive anti-TPO antibody SCH sub-group (p=0.008). Serum high-density lipoproteins (HDL) were low in 15.4% of cases in the negative anti-TPO antibody SCH sub-group and 24.2% of cases in the positive anti-TPO antibody SCH sub-group (p=0.490). Serum low-density lipoproteins (LDL) were high in 61.5% of cases in the negative anti-TPO antibody SCH sub-group and 90.3% of cases in the positive anti-TPO antibody SCH sub-group (p=0.008). Serum very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) were high in 84.6% of cases in the negative anti-TPO antibody SCH sub-group and 83.9% of cases in the positive anti-TPO antibody SCH sub-group (p=0.947). Based on our findings, 82.8% of participants with negative anti-TPO antibodies had normal serum LDL levels, while 11.1% of participants with positive anti-TPO antibodies had normal LDL levels (p<0.001). The study also showed that elevated serum LDL was present in 17.2% of participants with negative anti-TPO antibody levels and 88.9% of participants with positive anti-TPO antibodies (p<0.001). The study showed a correlation coefficient of 0.0432 between serum TG and anti-TPO antibody levels (p<0.001). Conclusion Our findings showed an increased incidence of dyslipidemia in SCH patients with positive anti-TPO antibodies. SCH with positive anti-TPO antibody is significantly associated with elevated serum total cholesterol (TC) levels, serum TG levels, and serum LDL levels. Hence, early screening and diagnosis of dyslipidemia are crucial to prevent cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in SCH patients with positive anti-TPO antibodies.
