Subclinical Thyrotoxicosis and Cardiovascular Risk: Assessment of Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells, Proangiogenic Cells, and Endothelial Function.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Subclinical thyrotoxicosis (SCT) is defined by low or undetectable thyroid-stimulating hormones and normal thyroid hormones. The treatment of SCT is uncertain despite being associated with increased cardiovascular risk (CVR) and mortality. Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (cEPCs) and circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) have been found to be reduced in conditions with CVR. We aimed to evaluate whether endothelial function and cEPC and CAC counts were reduced in SCT and to study the Methods: cEPCs (quantified by flow cytometry, 20 SCT/20 controls), CACs following Results: Conclusions: In conclusion, SCT is associated with reduced cEPC count and FMD, confirming increased CVR in SCT. Future outcome trials are required to examine if treatment of this subclinical hyperactive state improves cardiovascular outcome.
