Occupational Physical Activity and Regular Exercise Are Inversely Correlated with Thyroid Function in Patients with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.

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
objectiveWe evaluated correlations of occupational physical activity (OPA) and recreational exercise (RE), respectively, with thyroid function in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT).
methodsWe included 438 individuals with clinically diagnosed HT. Information on OPA and RE were collected through a self-report questionnaire. We assessed correlations between clinical phenotypes (TSH, T3, T4, fT4, TgAb, TPOAb, thyroid volume, vitamin D) and physical activities (OPA and RE) in all HT patients (ALL) and in two severity-based subgroups of patients (MILD and OVERT).
resultsThe main novel findings are significant correlations between increase in OPA and (i) a decrease in fT4 (OVERT, r = -0.265,
conclusionsOur results suggest that, unlike RE, OPA correlates with decreased thyroid function and increased thyroid autoimmunity. Our study proposes that the PA health paradox also applies for the thyroid health.
