Increased thyroid hormone sensitivity is correlated with visceral obesity in patients with type 2 diabetes.

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
objectiveThe study aimed to assess whether thyroid hormone (TH) sensitivity is related to visceral fat area (VFA) and visceral obesity in euthyroid subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
methods750 euthyroid patients with T2D were enrolled. A VFA of 80 cm
resultsThe subjects had a mean age of 51.5 ± 11.1 years, and 540 (72.0%) of them were men. In multivariable regression analyses, there was a positive correlation of FT3/FT4 tertile with visceral obesity, after full adjustment for confounding variables (P < 0.05). The middle and highest FT3/FT4 tertiles were correlated with a 134% [95% CI (1.24, 4.44)] and 98% [95% CI (1.04, 3.78)] higher prevalence of visceral obesity than the lowest tertile, respectively. Conversely, elevated TFQI levels were linked to a decreased prevalence of visceral obesity. Stratified analysis revealed that these associations were particularly pronounced in participants who are neither overweight nor obese and those aged less than 60 years (all P < 0.05).
conclusionsHigher TH sensitivity is correlated with visceral obesity and elevated VFA in euthyroid patients with T2D, particularly among those younger than 60 years and individuals who are neither overweight nor obese.
