Assessment of the impact of shift work on thyroid disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
purposeShift work including night work is a common work pattern worldwide and researchers have no consensus on the impact of shift work on thyroid disorders. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to summarize the evidence from published studies to ascertain the impact of shift work on thyroid disorders.
methodsStudies on the link between shift work and thyroid disorders published in Pubmed, Embase, Medline, and Cochrane databases by September 2021 were searched. Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to assess the quality of included studies. The Mantel-Haenszel statistical method and the inverse-variance statistical method were used to evaluate the pooled results of dichotomous and continuous variables, respectively. Study heterogeneity analysis was performed using I
resultsSeven eligible studies were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The results showed that shift work would lead to an increase in TSH (SMD: 0.30; 95%CI: 0.05-0.55; P = 0.02; I
conclusionShift work may be associated with abnormal TSH and FT4 levels. Thyroid health is affected in shift workers and it is advisable to remind patients to get good sleep the night before testing thyroid function.
