Correlation analysis of thyroid function and vitamin D levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

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: This study investigated the association between vitamin D status and thyroid function in 1,805 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated at a tertiary hospital between 2018 and 2024. We analyzed demographic, metabolic, and thyroid function parameters to determine whether vitamin D levels influence thyroid dysfunction in this population. Methods: Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D, thyroid hormones (FT3, FT4, TSH), and autoantibodies (TPOAb, TGAb, TRAb) were measured using electrochemiluminescence. HbA1c was assessed via HPLC. Statistical analyses included Spearman correlation and logistic regression to evaluate relationships between vitamin D levels (categorized as deficient < 20 ng/mL, insufficient 20-29.9 ng/mL, and sufficient ≥ 30 ng/mL) and thyroid disorders. Results: Vitamin D sufficiency (≥ 30 ng/mL) was positively associated with male sex (OR=2.52), older age (OR=1.05), and higher FT3 (OR=1.28), while inversely linked to elevated triglycerides (OR=0.68) and HbA1c (OR=0.88). Hyperthyroidism showed significant associations with low vitamin D (OR=1.07) and younger age (OR=0.93), whereas hypothyroidism correlated with aging (OR=1.07) and high cholesterol (OR=1.07). No significant relationships were found between vitamin D and thyroid autoimmunity. Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency is independently associated with hyperthyroidism and subclinical hyperthyroidism in T2DM patients, suggesting a potential role in thyroid dysregulation. These findings support screening for vitamin D deficiency in diabetic individuals with thyroid dysfunction.
