Preoperative Thyroid Autoimmune Status and Changes in Thyroid Function and Body Weight After Bariatric Surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
backgroundBariatric surgery has emerged as the most effective therapy for morbid obesity. There is increasing evidence that bariatric surgery could alleviate systemic inflammation and influence thyroid function. The current study aimed to investigate the associations of preoperative thyroid autoimmune status with the changes in body weight and thyroid function after bariatric surgery.
methodsWe recruited 101 patients with morbid obesity (44 men and 57 women) who received bariatric surgery at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. Those who had used thyroid hormone replacement or antithyroid drugs were excluded. General linear models were used to compare the changes in body weight and thyroid function in participants with different thyroid autoimmune statuses.
resultsAfter bariatric surgery, serum-free triiodothyronine (FT3) (4.94 ± 0.73 vs 4.33 ± 0.59 pmol/L, P < 0.001) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (3.13 ± 1.59 vs 2.26 ± 1.26 μIU/mL, P < 0.001) were significantly reduced, accompanied by reductions in BMI (42.1 ± 7.6 vs 31.4 ± 6.5 kg/m
conclusionOur study highlights a group of patients with morbid obesity, who have positive preoperative thyroid autoimmunity and less reduction in serum TSH levels and body weight after bariatric surgery.
