Hypothyroidism in Severe Burn Patients Associated with Increased Risk of Musculoskeletal Complications and Decreased Risk of Mortality.
Article in Journal of burn care & research : official publication of the American Burn Association, 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
Severe burn patients are prone to developing various musculoskeletal, dermatological, and cardiovascular complications, and hypothyroidism is associated with derangements of these same systems. This study aims to explore the association between hypothyroidism and the emergence of these complications in severe burn patients. Patients with severe burns, defined as those encompassing ≥20% total body surface area, were identified in the TriNetX US Collaborative Network and were categorized into 2 groups based on a history of hypothyroidism. Risk ratios (RRs) and differences of contractures, undergoing graft procedures, graft complications, amputations, and various infections and cardiovascular complications were generated using the database's measure of association analysis. The hypothyroidism cohort showed a greater risk of developing contractures (RR, 1.667; 95% confidence interval [CI], [1.207, 2.302]; P = .002), skin infections (RR, 1.885; CI, [1.192, 2.980]; P = .006), and urinary tract infections (RR, 1.950; CI, [1.155, 3.292]; P = .011) within 6 months of insult. The hypothyroidism cohort showed a decreased risk of mortality (RR, 0.688; CI, [0.516, 0.915]; P < .010), undergoing graft procedures (RR, 0.647; CI, [0.518, 0.807]; P < .001), and vasopressor use (RR, 0.806; CI, [0.667, 0.974]; P = .025) in this same time period. In conclusion, hypothyroidism in severe burn patients is associated with an increased risk of developing contractures and skin and urinary tract infections and a decreased risk of mortality, undergoing graft procedures, and vasopressor use.
