Association of Elevated Thyroid Stimulating Hormone with Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and Its Mortality in Elderly Community-Dwelling Chinese.

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
Purpose: With increase of population aging, the prevalence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and elevated serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in elderly is increasing. High TSH level was reported to be associated with ASCVD and CVD mortality; however, few are studied in Chinese population, especially in the elderly. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of elevated serum TSH and ASCVD in an elderly population of Chinese community and to explore the association between high serum TSH and ASCVD or CVD mortality. Patients and Methods: We conducted a study involving 3814 adults who were at least 60 years of age. Questionnaires, physical examinations, and laboratory blood samples were collected in 2014, and a 78-months follow-up for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality was performed till December of 2020. Logistics regression was used to analyze the association between TSH and ASCVD. We used Cox models to assess the hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause and CVD mortality across changes in serum TSH. Results: In this study, the prevalence of the elevated serum TSH was 19.8%, and significantly higher in women than in men (24.5% vs 13.9%, p < 0.001). The prevalence of ASCVD was 21.7%. In logistics regression models, elevated TSH was associated with ASCVD after adjusting for the risk factors of ASCVD in people over the age of 70 years (adjusted OR 1.054, P = 0.014). After a follow-up of 6.5 years, total 441 (11.6%) all-cause death and 174 (4.6%) death of CVD were observed. In Cox regression model, no significant correlation was found between TSH and all-cause mortality or CVD mortality in the elderly population. Conclusion: In the elderly population, there is high prevalence of elevated serum TSH and ASCVD. Elevated TSH seemed to be not associated with risk of all-cause or CVD mortality.
