Screening factors affecting proper levothyroxine therapy among patients with primary hypothyroidism: a cross-sectional study.
Observational study in Journal of medicine and life, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06660888 (Study of Chronic Fatigue, Depression, and Anxiety Among Hypothyroid Patients Attending Assuit University Hospitals), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
Primary hypothyroidism, the most common form of hypothyroidism, requires effective patient understanding and management for successful long-term treatment. This study aimed to investigate the influence of patient knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP), depression, and medication adherence on treatment response in primary hypothyroidism. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted at Al Hassan Metabolism, Endocrine, and Diabetes Center (HMEDC) in Iraq between September 2022 and March 2023. We enrolled 111 patients with signs and symptoms of primary hypothyroidism over 6 months. A validated questionnaire assessed patient knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP), depression, and medication adherence. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were measured to assess treatment response. Data were analyzed using SPSS v26, with categorical variables presented as percentages. The student's t-test was used to assess statistical significance, with
