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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to analyze the association of thyroid stimulating hormone and free-thyroxin with anemia as well as the role of several sociodemographic variables in these associations.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional analysis of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health study (2008-2010), a prospective cohort study of civil servants in six locations in Brazil. Inclusion criteria: to be an active or retired civil servant of one of the institutions and 35-74 years at enrollment. Exclusion criteria: pregnancy less than 4 months before entering the study for women, intention to quit the institution soon, live outside the metropolitan region where the investigation center is located or communication problems. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin <12 g% in women and <13 g% in men. After exclusions, 13,247 participants were included in the analysis. Models were presented without adjustment and adjusted for sociodemographic and clinical risk factors. The study was approved by the Ethic Committee.
resultsMedian age was 51.9 (51-53 years), 54% of women There was an association of less presence of anemia with higher free-thyroxin levels considering the entire sample: OR 0.80 (95%CI 0.65-0.98) for the second quintile; OR 0.55 (95%CI 0.43-0.70) for third quintile; OR 0.49 (95%CI 0.38-0.63) for fourth quintile; and OR 0.52 (95%CI 0.40-0.66) for fifth quintile for free-thyroxin levels. This association was also present when analyzing the sample by sex.
conclusionHigher levels of free-thyroxin are associated with lower odds of anemia. No associations were found between thyroid stimulating hormone levels and anemia. In analysis, according to sex, No differences were found between men and women.
