Sensitivity to thyroid hormones in children developing acute kidney injury at the onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Article in BMC medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThyroid hormone (TH) sensitivity at type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) onset and its connection with acute kidney injury (AKI) has not been investigated. We aimed to evaluate changes in TH sensitivity in children with and without AKI at T1DM onset and to assess the role of euthyroid sick syndrome (ESS) in this relationship.
methodsWe included 161 children with new-onset T1DM and followed them until renal function normalized. The free triiodothyronine (FT3)/free thyroxine (FT4) ratio was used to assess peripheral TH sensitivity, while the TSH index (TSHI), thyrotroph T4 resistance index (TT4RI), thyrotroph T3 resistance index (TT3RI), Thyroid Feedback Quantile-based Index (TFQI), and parametric TFQI (PTFQI) were used for central sensitivity.
resultsPatients with AKI exhibited greater weight loss, higher serum ketones, creatinine, corrected sodium, and glycated hemoglobin, but lower bicarbonate and estimated glomerular filtration rate compared to those without AKI. Logistic regression showed that the odds of AKI increased by 11.5-fold for each unit decrease in TFQI, 4.0-fold per unit decrease in PTFQI, and 1.7-fold per unit decrease in TSHI, adjusting for age and gender. After adjusting for age, gender, and ESS, the odds for AKI significantly increased (4.8-fold for each 1-unit decrease) only for TFQI.
conclusionsAKI at the onset of T1DM has a dual effect on TH. It reduces peripheral sensitivity while increasing central sensitivity. This effect appears to be largely driven by ESS, with the exception of the association between AKI and TFQI, which remains independent of ESS.
