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.

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.

Abstract

Objective: People with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) often have low vitamin D3 concentrations. Some research has suggested that vitamin D3 supplementation reduces thyroid inflammation, but this remains controversial. Methods: EAT was induced in female NOD/ShiLtJ mice by giving them water containing 0.05% sodium iodide, and 1μg/kg of 1α,25-(OH) Results: EAT caused thyroiditis follicle destruction and interfollicular lymphocyte infiltration in mice, increased concentrations of circulating thyroid autoimmune antibodies TG-Ab and TPO-Ab, and abnormal thyroid hormone levels. EAT also increased the number and functionality of CD4+ Tfh, Th17,Th1 and Th2 cells in the thyroid, while decreasing the number and functionality of CD4+ Treg cells and CD19 Conclusion: Vitamin D3 supplementation can effectively treat autoimmune thyroiditis in mice. VD3 reduces autoimmune thyroid damage and decreases serum thyroid antibody levels in mice by inhibiting the differentiation and functionality of pro-inflammatory Tfh, Th17, Th1 and Th2 cells and by facilitating the differentiation and functionality of anti-inflammatory B10 cells and Treg.
