The complex relationship between endocrine and psychiatric disorders: an epidemiological study of risk estimates.
Article in Medicine and pharmacy reports, 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
Backgrounds and aims: Psychiatric comorbidities are frequently observed in patients with endocrine disorders, yet in Romania the extent and nature of this association remains underexplored in clinical settings. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of endocrine disorders, like Cushing's syndrome, Addison's disease, hypo- and hyperthyroidism, in patients diagnosed with depressive, anxious, and manic disorders. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study using records from the Hipocrate/H3 electronic medical system between January 1, 2020, and September 1, 2024. Patients with ICD-10-coded endocrine diagnoses were identified, and the presence of documented psychiatric diagnoses was assessed. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals and chi-square tests were used to compare the odds of psychiatric comorbidity across endocrine diagnostic groups. Results: The statistical analysis revealed that patients with Addison's disease, Cushing's syndrome and hypothyroidism were associated with significantly higher odds of psychiatric comorbidity (p < 0.0001). In contrast, in the case of patients with hyperthyroidism, we observed significantly lower odds of psychiatric disorders (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: The study demonstrates that psychiatric comorbidities are common among patients with endocrine disorders, underscoring a meaningful relationship between endocrine dysfunction and mental health. Because the study was cross-sectional and based on clinical records, causal interpretation is not possible. The findings support the need for integrated endocrine and psychiatric assessment in patients with selected endocrine disorders.
