Impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormones is associated with increased body fat mass/muscle mass ratio (F/M) in the euthyroid population.

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
objectiveTo explore the relationship between body fat mass/muscle mass ratio (F/M) and thyroid hormone sensitivity in the euthyroid population.
methodsBody compositions of 845 check-up individuals were determined using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Biochemical indexes including blood glucose, blood lipids, liver and kidney functions and thyrotropic hormones (THs) were detected. Free triiodothyronine to free thyroxine ratio (FT3/FT4), Thyroid Feedback Quantile-based Index (TFQI), Thyrotropin Thyroxine Resistance Index (TT4RI) and TSH Index (TSHI) were calculated for analysis.
resultsTT4RI and TSHI showed increased trends with statistical difference, while FT3/FT4 and TFQI showed no difference among F/M quartile groups. After adjusting for confounding factors, F/M exhibited no correlation with FT3/FT4, but positive correlations with TFQI, TT4RI and TSHI. Gender subgroup analysis showed that F/M exhibited positive relationship with TFQI in females; exhibited positive correlations with TFQI, TT4RI and TSHI before the inflection points, but no correlations thereafter in males. Age subgroup analysis showed that F/M exhibited positive correlations with TFQI, TT4RI and TSHI, but no correlation with FT3/FT4 in age < 65 years group; exhibited no relationship with thyroid hormone sensitivity in age ≥ 65 years group. BMI subgroup analysis showed that F/M exhibited no relationship with thyroid hormone sensitivity in BMI < 25 kg/m
conclusionImpaired central, but not peripheral sensitivity to thyroid hormones was associated with increased body fat mass/muscle mass ratio (F/M), this association was obvious in males, individuals with age < 65 years and BMI ≥ 25 kg/m
