Association of hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, and amygdala with thyroid function: a bilateral volumetric analysis.
Article in Thyroid research, 2026. 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
Thyroid hormones modulate brain structures during neurogenesis and impact cognition and emotions during the lifetime. Hypothyroidism is commonly associated with lower gray matter volume. Fewer studies, however, highlighted significant associations between higher thyroid function and cognitive impairment. Aging is an independent risk factor for cognitive decline and thyroid dysfunction. It is, therefore, important to understand the association of thyroid function with relevant brain structures during the aging process. A subset of 1,010 adults (≥ 50 years) from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) was included. Multivariable linear regression was used. Comparative bilateral volumetric analyses and interaction-based cognition-related stratifications were performed. Females represented 50.00% of included cases, and 43.50% were healthy controls (HC). Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels were lower in the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) group (1.67 vs. 1.81 µIU/mL, p-value = 0.024). A significant positive association between TSH (µIU/mL) and left hippocampus volume (mm3) was found in MCI (adj.ß=44.00 [7.50, 81.00], p-value = 0.018). Similar results were found in the right hippocampus, but only in the total study population (adj.ß=29.00 [4.00, 54.00], p-value = 0.023). There was a significant association between TSH (µIU/mL) and left EC volume (mm3) in the total study population (adj.ß=31.00 [9.40, 52.00], p-value = 0.005), and after stratification, this association remained statistically significant only in MCI (adj.ß=54.00 [24.00, 84.00], p-value < 0.001). The association between TSH and the amygdala was not statistically significant. It is, therefore, crucial to consider the role of cognitive status and laterality when exploring the thyroid-brain interaction in older adults.
