Prognostic factors and prognostic risk score of 30-day all-cause mortality in thyroid storm.
Article in BMC endocrine disorders, 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
backgroundThyroid storm is a life-threatening endocrine emergency with high mortality. Existing diagnostic score primarily focuses on diagnosis rather than predicting outcomes. This study aimed to identify prognostic factors and develop a practical clinical prognostic score for 30-day all-cause mortality in patients with thyroid storm.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary care center in Thailand. Patients diagnosed with thyroid storm were included. To identify prognostic factors of 30-day all-cause mortality, clinical and biochemical variables were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analysis presented with odds ratio (OR). A prognostic risk score was developed and internally validated using bootstrapping. Statistical significance p-value was set at < 0.05.
resultsA total of 115 patients were included, with a 30-day mortality rate of 13%. Significant prognostic factors of 30-day mortality included male sex (OR 4.34), hypertension (OR 2.54), SOFA score ≥ 2 (OR 9.93), and GCS ≤ 10 (OR 1.95). Based on these four variables, a weighted scoring system (total 8 points) was developed. The model demonstrated good discriminatory performance with an apparent AUC of 0.81, which remained robust at 0.79 (95% CI 0.69-0.91) after internal validation via bootstrapping.
conclusionThe prognostic factors and proposed clinical prognostic score, incorporating simple and readily available parameters, provides an effective tool for early risk stratification in thyroid storm. This score can facilitate prioritized intensive care admission. Further external validation is warranted to confirm its generalizability across diverse clinical settings. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
