Update on diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of central hypothyroidism among childhood cancer survivors.
Review in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 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
contextFollowing the exposure to toxic therapeutic agents employed in the treatment of malignancies, endocrine complications can affect up to 40-60% of childhood cancer survivors (CCS), with central hypothyroidism (CeH) being a relevant adverse event observed in this population. Given the long-standing uptrend in the number of CCS due to advances in antineoplastic and support therapies, the issue of treatment-related endocrine disorders, including CeH, has become an increasingly relevant topic.

resultsThe pathophysiology of CeH in CCS is primarily related to damage to the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis, often caused by the synergetic detrimental effect of antineoplastic treatments. Understanding the pathogenesis and the specificities of iatrogenic CeH is crucial to improve the clinical management of CCS. Due to the often subtle and paucisymptomatic nature of CeH in its early stages, regular, life-long thyroid screening is essential to prompt timely diagnosis. Indeed, early identification of CeH allows for appropriate thyroid hormone replacement, which is crucial for preventing long-term metabolic and developmental complications and to improve the quality of life of these patients.
conclusionsThis review aims to enhance awareness among healthcare providers regarding the critical importance of timely detection of CeH and its specificities among CCS, in order to better understand the pathogenesis of treatment-related CeH and to outline evidence-based strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of CeH in this vulnerable population.
