Assessment of sleep quality and hypothyroidism among medical students in India.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. 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
Hypothyroidism reduces thyroid hormone levels, slowing metabolism and is prevalent in India. Therefore, it is of interest to relate hypothyroidism and poor sleep among first-year medical students in eastern India. Hence, an Observational Cross-sectional study was conducted on apparently healthy students aged 18-25 years of a Medical College of Eastern India. Socio demographics, anthropometric measurements, Free T4, TSH and Sleep quality (PSQI) were assessed. 17.241% students had Hypothyroidism, 9.195% students had Subclinical Hypothyroidism, 44.83% students were found to have poor sleep. Female students had significantly more FT4, TSH and poorer sleep quality than male students. (p=0.0282, p=0.0111 and p=0.0094). A strong positive correlation was found between serum TSH levels and PSQI scores (R =0.786). Thus, there is a significant burden of hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism and poor sleep quality among medical students. There is also a strong association between elevated serum TSH levels and impaired sleep quality.
