Low Serum Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 Level and Its Altered Regulation by Thyroid Hormones in Patients with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis on Levothyroxine Substitution.
Article in Metabolites, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesFibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a hormonal regulator of lipid and glucose metabolism exerting protection against atherosclerosis by multiple actions on the blood vessels, liver, and adipose tissues. We aimed to investigate serum FGF21 level and its relation to thyroid hormones and metabolic parameters among patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT).
methodsEighty patients with HT on levothyroxine treatment and eighty-two age- and BMI-matched adults without thyroid disease serving as controls were enrolled. Serum FGF21 concentrations were determined with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
resultsMedian serum FGF21 level was significantly lower in HT patients compared with controls (74.2 (33.4-148.3) pg/mL vs. 131.9 (44.8-236.3) pg/mL;
conclusionsOur results indicate that the physiological role of thyroid function in the regulation of FGF21 synthesis is impaired in HT patients, which may contribute to the metabolic alterations characteristic of HT patients.
