Current status of hypothyroidism control in Guangzhou area, China: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in BMC endocrine disorders, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHypothyroidism is a significantly harmful condition that severely affects work and daily life. Currently, there is a lack of large-scale investigations into the treatment control status in China. This study aimed to combine a large sample of patients with hypothyroidism in the Guangzhou area to analyze hypothyroidism control rates.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted at six tertiary A-grade hospitals in Guangzhou city. On-site questionnaire surveys were administered to randomly sampled outpatients with hypothyroidism (n = 1516) to collect cross-sectional data. The collected data were analyzed to summarize the current status of hypothyroidism control, the composition of hypothyroidism etiology, complications, and their correlation with hypothyroidism control rates in Guangzhou.
resultsThe overall control rate of patients with hypothyroidism (with TSH level < 4 mU/L as the standard) was 59.4% (49.2% in males and 61.2% in females). There was a significant correlation between TSH control rate and sex and education. In addition, the TSH control rate after treatment was higher in those aged < 35 years and during the mid-term of pregnancy in pregnant women with hypothyroidism. The control rate of TSH was closely associated with abnormal liver function, menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, and sleep disorders. Finally, a history of thyroid surgery, type of thyroid surgery, and presence of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis were correlated with the control rate of TSH.
conclusionThe control rate in patients with hypothyroidism was relatively low in Guangzhou area. Patients with hypothyroidism and clinical characteristics closely associated with poor hypothyroidism control should receive special attention. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
