Genome‑wide profiling of DNA methylation and gene expression unravel the epigenetic landscape in diabetes-related hypothyroidism.
Article in Clinical epigenetics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypothyroidism are two common endocrine diseases and the phenomenon that the prevalence of diabetes-related hypothyroidism shows a significant upward trend deserves further attention, but the specific pathogenesis is not yet clear. The study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms on DNA methylation regulating gene expression and participating in diabetes-related hypothyroidism through genome-wide DNA methylation and RNA sequencing.
resultsThe prevalence of hypothyroidism in T2DM patients was significantly higher than that in patients without T2DM (P = 0.018). Meanwhile, high TSH and low T3 and T4 levels were detected in diabetic mice. Low T3 and T4 levels were detected in Nthy-ori3-1 cells incubated in high-glucose medium. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were detected by RNA sequencing and reduced representation bisulfite sequencing in Nthy-ori3-1 cells cultured in high-glucose and normal medium. Functional enrichment analyses reveled that DMRs and DEGs were related to significant pathways including Ras, Wnt and MAPK pathways.
conclusionsWe observed the potential connection between T2DM and hypothyroidism. This study was the first one carrying out DNA methylation and gene expression profiles to explore epigenetic modification in diabetes-related hypothyroidism, which provided information for the detailed study of the molecular mechanism in diabetes-related hypothyroidism.
