Association between Noise Exposure and Hyperthyroidism Risk: A Retrospective Case-Control Study.
Article in Noise & health. 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
backgroundEnvironmental and lifestyle factors may influence hyperthyroidism prevalence. This research sought to explore the association between noise exposure and the risk of hyperthyroidism.
methodsThis retrospective case-control study was conducted in two hospitals in China between January 2022 and December 2023. Among the 128 participants enrolled, 64 were hyperthyroidism patients (the hyperthyroidism group), and 64 had normal thyroid function (the control group). The variables compared between the groups included body mass index (BMI), residence areas (urban/rural), average noise levels, noise compliance rates, iodized salt intake, and anxiety levels (Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, SAS). Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify the risk factors for hyperthyroidism.
resultsThe hyperthyroidism group showed significantly higher residential noise level, SAS score, excessive iodized salt intake rate, and urban residential rate compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The hyperthyroidism group also showed a lower noise compliance rate and BMI compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Urban participants exhibited higher noise levels, excessive iodized salt intake rate, hyperthyroidism incidence, SAS score, and lower noise compliance rates compared with the rural participants (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that high noise level (OR = 1.103, 95% CI 1.024-1.187) and high anxiety level (OR = 1.292, 95% CI 1.136-1.329) are risk factors for hyperthyroidism. High noise compliance rate (OR = 0.787, 95% CI 0.060-0.845) and rural residence (OR = 0.643, 95% CI 0.078-0.829) are protective factors for hyperthyroidism.
conclusionThis study underscored noise exposure and anxiety as modifiable risk factors for hyperthyroidism. Strict environmental noise regulations and enhanced public health education are necessary to reduce the risk of hyperthyroidism.
