Decreased circulating levels of free triiodothyronine in Sepsis children and correlation analysis.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundIntensive physical stress in sepsis can induce the disorder of endocrine function and impact the clinical course and prognosis. Low T3 syndrome has been verified to be the predictive indicator of poor prognosis in several researches. Reports on the influence factors of thyroid hormonal levels in children with severe sepsis are rare. We aim to investigate the thyroid hormonal variations in the course of sepsis and analyze that how to be affected by clinical data and inflammatory biomarkers.
methodsIn the case-control study, 184 children with sepsis and 323 controls were included in Tongji Hospital, Wuhan, China, in 2019. Data on clinical and inflammatory parameters were collected from all participants. Circulating FT3(Free Triiodothyronine) levels were measured by Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Finally, we investigated the correlation between FT3 and related variables with linear regression analysis.
resultsSerum FT3 was lower in the sepsis group than in control group(2.59 + 1.17 vs 2.83 + 1.01 pg/mL, p < 0.05). Significant moderately negative correlations(|r| > 0.3) of FT3 levels with ferritin, PCT, duration of symptoms, SOFA score, and mortality were revealed. Moreover, we observed that FT3 had the positive correlation with albumin, as well as white blood cell count.
conclusionsConcentrations of serum FT3 are dramatically declined in sepsis children than in control children. Our results demonstrate that recognizing the potential abnormality of thyroid hormones in sepsis patients and examine timely through abnormal common clinical data and inflammatory biomarkers is a fine option.
