Estimation of urea, uric acid and creatinine levels in patients of primary hypothyroidism - A cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2024. 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
Background: The thyroid gland is one of the largest endocrine glands in the body, secreting thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Mild hypothyroidism can have negative consequences for a variety of tissues, even though clinically the patients are euthyroid. Many research studies were conducted to evaluate the serum creatinine levels of people with hypothyroidism; however, relatively little research was conducted to evaluate serum urea and serum creatinine levels in subclinical hypothyroidism. As a result, the current study was carried out to investigate urea, uric acid, and creatinine levels in hypothyroidism. Objectives: Our study aimed to determine and correlate the levels of urea, uric acid and creatinine in newly diagnosed primary hypothyroidism cases. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 96 newly diagnosed cases of primary hypothyroidism were included. The findings were correlated with 20-60-year-old and sex-matched cases. Serum urea was determined by the kinetic method (Glutamate Dehydrogenase Method), serum uric acid by the uricase method and serum creatinine by Jaffe's method in Erba's Mannheim fully automated analyser. Result: This study showed a positive correlation between uric acid and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and a negative correlation between urea and creatinine. There was no statistical significance in the mean values of urea, uric acid and creatinine but an increased level of urea, uric acid and creatinine was seen in the age group 20-30 years when compared with the other age groups. Conclusion: The study concludes that serum urea showed a positive correlation with TSH, whereas uric acid and creatinine showed a negative correlation with TSH, and there was no statistical significance in the mean values of urea, uric acid and creatinine in hypothyroid patients.
