[Occult thyroid dysfunction in outpatients with liver cirrhosis].
Article in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 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: Several alterations in thyroid function have been identified in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). Objective: To carry out a thyroid disease screening in adult patients with LC. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study. Serum levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free-tetraiodothyronine (T4) were measured, and compared according to etiology of the cirrhosis, sex, model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, and Child-Pugh (C-P) class. Results: The most frequent etiology was hepatitis C virus (45%), followed by non- alcoholic fatty liver-disease (17%). We found thyroid dysfunction in 36% of the patients. The most frequent alteration was subclinical hypothyroidism (34%). Patients with alcohol-induced cirrhosis had the highest frequency of subclinical hypothyroidism (45%) and TSH levels were higher in patients with cirrhosis due to autoimmune disease and in those with alcohol-induced cirrhosis. Conclusion: We found no correlation between thyroid hormone levels, age, MELD score, or C-P. Our results showed that occult primary thyroid dysfunction is frequent in outpatients with LC, regardless of age, etiology, or liver reserve. Subclinical hypothyroidism was the main alteration and presented more frequently in patients with alcohol-induced cirrhosis. Longitudinal studies are needed to know the impact of subclinical hypothyroidism on the clinical progression of patients with cirrhosis.
