Gallstone Disease and Its Correlation With Thyroid Disorders: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Over the years, several studies have revealed an important link between thyroid disorders and gallstone disease. According to these studies, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are associated with cholesterol gallstone disease. This association between thyroid hormone disorders and cholesterol gallstone disease is due to the importance of thyroid hormones on cholesterol synthesis, bile functioning and content, and gallbladder motility. Several genes and receptors have been found on the thyroid gland, liver, and gallbladder to verify this association. These genes affect thyroid hormone secretion, lipid metabolism, and bile secretion. Defects in these various gene expression and protein functions lead to bile duct diseases. Other causes that lead to cholesterol gallstone disease are supersaturation of the bile with cholesterol and impaired gallbladder motility, which leads to bile stasis. This article has discussed these factors in detail while highlighting the association between thyroid hormones and cholesterol gallstone disease.
