Correlation Between Thyroid-Related Hormones and Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients with Normal Thyroid Function: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Purpose: To investigate the correlation between thyroid-related hormones and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in euthyroid patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Patients and Methods: Patients with T2DM admitted to our hospital between January 2023 and June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into DR and non-diabetic retinopathy (NDR) groups according to whether DR occurred. Thyroid function-related hormones (TSH, FT3, and FT4), blood glucose indices (FBG and HbA1c), and blood lipid indices (HDL-C, LDL-C, TC, and TG) of the two groups were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression to explore the risk factors for DR. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis were used to investigate the correlation of TSH or FT3 with FBG, HbA1c, and TG in DR patients. Results: Of the 286 patients with T2DM included in this study, 101 (35.31%) developed DR and 185 (64.69%) did not. High TG, FBG, HbA1c, and TSH and low FT3 levels were independent risk factors for DR in T2DM patients. TSH positively correlated with TG, whereas FT3 negatively correlated with TG and HbA1c in T2DM patients with DR. Conclusion: Higher TSH and lower FT3 in T2DM patients with normal thyroid function may affect glucose and lipid metabolism, thereby increasing the risk of DR.
