Functional thiamine deficiency in patients with chronic kidney disease in Northeast Thailand.
Article in Future science OA, 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
backgroundPatients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be vulnerable to thiamine insufficiency due to dietary restrictions, altered metabolism, and renal replacement therapy. We aimed to determine the prevalence of functional thiamine deficiency, its distribution across CKD stages, and the associated clinical factors in a Thai population. AREAS COVERED: Thiamine status was assessed in red blood cells using the erythrocyte transketolase activity coefficient (ETKAC) assay. Participants (n = 605) were categorized as having normal thiamine status (ETKAC ≤1.25) or functional thiamine deficiency (ETKAC >1.25). The prevalence of functional thiamine deficiency was 6.1% overall and 6.4% among participants with CKD. Univariate analyses of participants with CKD showed that higher systolic blood pressure (SBP), hypertension, and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were associated with functional thiamine deficiency. In the multivariable analysis adjusted for age, sex, SBP, eGFR, and alcohol intake, hypertension remained independently associated with functional thiamine deficiency ( EXPERT OPINION/COMMENTARY: Functional thiamine deficiency was observed in a subset of participants, particularly in patients with CKD and hypertension, supporting further investigation of thiamine status in CKD populations.
