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

This study aimed to explore the association between the Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR) and thyroid function in adults. From the 2007 to 2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 6,963 adults aged 18 years and above were included in this cross-sectional study. Serum MHR levels and thyroid function indicators were extracted from laboratory data. Weighted multivariate linear regression models, subgroup analyses, interaction tests, smoothed curve fitting, and threshold effects were used to investigate the associations of the MHR with thyroid function. In the complete adjusted model, lnMHR was positively correlated with FT3 (β = 0.10, 95% CI 0.07, 0.12), TT3 (β = 3.33, 95% CI 2.01, 4.65), and TT4(β = 0.20, 95% CI 0.11, 0.29) and negatively correlated with TPOAb (p = 0.019 for trend) after categorizing lnMHR into quartiles. We observed a J-shaped curve between lnMHR and FT3 and TT4 using a smoothed curve fitting. The subgroup analysis suggested the relationship between lnMHR and various thyroid function indicators was influenced by age, body mass index (BMI), urinary iodine concentration (UIC), hypertension. The findings of this study suggest that MHR is closely related to thyroid functions. Further research is required to confirm this association.
