1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundNon-T2 asthma and hypothyroidism share several inflammatory mechanisms in common. However, large-scale, real-world studies evaluating the association between asthma and hypothyroidism are lacking. The objective of this study was to evaluate the risk for asthma patients of developing hypothyroidism.

methodsIn the retrospective cohort study, people with asthma were recruited from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database in Taiwan. After excluding ineligible patients with a previous history of hypothyroidism, 1:1 propensity matching was conducted to select a non-asthma control group. Based on the multivariate Cox regression model, the adjusted hazard ratio of asthma patients developing hypothyroidism was calculated.

resultsIn total, 95,321 asthma patients were selected as the asthma group and the same amount of people without asthma were selected as the control group. The incidence levels of new-onset hypothyroidism in asthma and non-asthma groups were 8.13 and 6.83 per 100,000 people per year, respectively. Compared with the non-asthma group, the adjusted hazard ratio of the asthma group developing hypothyroidism was 1.217 (95% confidence interval, 1.091-1.357).

conclusionsWe found having asthma to be associated with an increased risk of hypothyroidism. Clinicians should be concerned regarding the endocrinological and inflammatory interaction between the two diseases while caring for people with asthma.
