Association between impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormones and sedentary behavior: a cross-sectional study.

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
Purpose: Sedentary behavior and impaired thyroid hormone sensitivity are linked to a variety of comorbid conditions; however, the exact nature of their relationship remains inadequately studied. This study sought to examine the association between sedentary time and thyroid hormone sensitivity. Methods: Utilizing a cross-sectional design, the study analyzed data from U.S. participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2007 and 2012. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression and the Boruta algorithm were employed to screen out confounding factors closely associated with sedentary time and the parametric thyroid feedback quantile-based index (PTFQI). Multivariate linear regression models were applied to analyze the association between sedentary time and indicators of thyroid hormone sensitivity. After adjusting for all confounding factors, restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves were utilized to further explore the potential non-linear relationship between sedentary time and indicators of thyroid hormone sensitivity. Additionally, subgroup analyses and interaction tests were conducted to further explore this association. Results: A total of 22 significant confounding factors were identified through LASSO regression and the Boruta algorithm. Among these potential confounding factors, body mass index (BMI) occupied a central position, and it partially mediated the association between sedentary time and the PTFQI. RCS analysis indicated that, after adjusting for all covariates, there was a significant linear association between sedentary time and PTFQI in men ( Conclusions: In this study, we found a positive association between impaired thyroid hormone sensitivity and sedentary time in men after adjusting for confounders, and BMI partially mediated this positive association. Additionally, the factor of race exhibited a significant interaction effect on the association between sedentary time and the PTFQI.
