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

Background and aim: The thyroid hormone sensitivity index provides a new perspective for investigating nuanced alterations in thyroid function in cardiovascular disorders. However, the predictive value of thyroid hormone sensitivity indices for adverse events following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of thyroid sensitivity indices for major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) in these patients. Methods and results: A total of 431 patients were included in the analysis. Thyroid hormone sensitivity indices were calculated using the thyroid-stimulating hormone index (TSHI), thyrotrophic thyroxine resistance index (TT4RI), thyroid feedback quantile-based index (TFQI), and parametric thyroid feedback quantile-based index (PTFQI). During the median follow-up period, 50 (11.60%) patients experienced MACCEs. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that TSHI (HR 1.277, 95% CI 1.110-1.468, P<0.001), TT4RI (HR 1.002, 95% CI 1.001-1.003, P<0.001), TFQI (HR 1.130, 95% CI 1.043-1.224, P=0.003), and PTFQI (HR 1.237, 95% CI 1.107-1.383, P<0.001) were independent predictors of MACCEs. The area under the ROC curve (AUROC) revealed that PTFQI had the highest predictive value (AUROC =0.688, 95% CI: 0.595-0.780; P < 0.001). Adding PTFQI to the GRACE score can enhance the risk prediction of MACCEs in ACS patients undergoing PCI, AUROC = 0.759 (95% CI 0.676-0.842, P < 0.001) vs AUROC = 0.646 (95% CI 0.563-0.729, P = 0.001), and there is a significant difference (P = 0.0108). Subgroup analysis indicated that PTFQI had a more significant predictive value for MACCEs in males and patients with abnormal blood glucose. Conclusion: Thyroid hormone sensitivity indices are associated with a greater risk of MACCEs in patients with ACS following PCI.
