Uric Acid Status in Subclinical Hypothyroidism.
Review in EJIFCC, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Overt hypothyroidism is associated with high levels of serum uric acid (UA) however, the association between UA and thyroid function in patients with subclinical thyroid dysfunction remains unclear. Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is a common endocrine disorder characterized by normal thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), and elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, usually without clinical manifestations. Therefore, we carried out a study of patients with subclinical thyroid dysfunction to assess the relationship between thyroid function and UA. This lead us to review the literature to find to what extent subclinical hypothyroidism is associated with uric acid. This study adopts the method of retrospective analysis to collect general information and laboratory results aimed at assessing the correlation between uric acid and thyroid hormone levels. We searched 3 databases using different keywords. Literature search was done for articles published in the last ten years, between 2013-2023. All relevant studies were screened. A total of eighteen articles were finalized for the review. Some studies supported T3 supplementation resulting in SCH correction. Our study indicates that it is important to screen for serum uric acid levels routinely in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism.
