Relationship of serum iron and thyroid hormone in obesity and after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Observational study in BMC endocrine disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04548232 (Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital，School of Medicine, Tongji University), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundIron is an essential element for thyroid function. However, no study focuses on the association between iron and thyroid in individuals with obesity. Our research aimed to investigate the iron status in relation to baseline thyroid hormone levels and after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
methodsA total of 216 subjects with obesity were enrolled and divided into low and high iron groups depending on the median value. The association between iron and thyroid hormone was analyzed and compared before and after LSG at the 6-month follow-up in patients who underwent LSG.
results1) In all, Total Triiodothyronine (TT3) was significantly higher in high iron than low iron group (P = 0.008). TT3 and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were significantly higher in high iron than low iron group (1.92 ± 0.61 vs. 1.69 ± 0.28 nmol/l, P = 0.029; 2.93 ± 1.66 vs. 1.88 ± 1.03 mU/l, P = 0.002) in females while not in males (all P > 0.05). 2) Iron was significantly positively associated with free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), TT3 and TSH (all P < 0.05). Adjusted for body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol (TCH), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), fasting insulin (FINS) and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), FT3, FT4 and TSH were still significantly associated with iron (all P < 0.05). 3). Regression analysis showed that iron was significantly associated with FT4 (β = 0.338, P = 0.038). 3) LSG led to decreased FT3, FT3, TT3, total thyroxine (TT4) and TSH at 6 months follow-up (all P < 0.05). Changed FT4 was significantly associated with changed iron (r = 0.520, P = 0.009). Subjects with iron decreased had more significant decreased TT4 than subjects without iron decreased (P = 0.021).
conclusionSerum iron overload is significantly associated with impaired thyroid function in subjects with obesity. LSG led to improved thyroid function which is associated with a change in iron.
