Serum Klotho protein level in patients with thyroid dysfunction.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2025. 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
objectivesThis study focused on determining the new marker Klotho and its correlation with other parameters in thyroid dysfunction.
methodsSeventy-seven thyroid dysfunction patients were recruited during the period (from Aug 2024 to Dec 2024) with an age range (33-56) years. The patient group was subdivided into two groups: group I (21) Patients with Hyperthyroidism and group II (56) Patients with Hypothyroidism, for comparison, 30 healthy individuals were included as a control. The protein level Klotho was estimated using ELISA. Biochemical parameters; blood urea, creatinine, and lipid profile were measured spectrophotometrically. T3, T4 and TSH were determined using ELFA kit.
resultsSerum levels of Klotho protein were significantly lower (p-value < 0.001) in group I compared to the control group. There was a significant difference (p < 0.001) in the Klotho protein levels in group II compared with the control group. Klotho protein was negatively correlated to TSH, creatinine concentrations, and age. The AUC was excellent with high diagnostic accuracy in differentiating newly diagnosed thyroid dysfunction from the healthy subject group.
conclusionsSerum Klotho levels in patients with thyroid dysfunction significantly decreased, particularly in hypothyroidism patients. These levels are inversely correlated with thyroid-stimulating hormone levels and age.
