Correlation between diabetic peripheral neuropathy and thyroid hormone sensitivity in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Article in World journal of diabetes, 2025. 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
backgroundDiabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), significantly affecting patients' quality of life and imposing a substantial economic burden. Recent studies have highlighted the role of thyroid hormones in diabetes complications, particularly in elderly patients with T2DM. However, the relationship between thyroid hormone sensitivity and DPN remains unclear.
aimTo investigate the correlation between thyroid hormone sensitivity and DPN in elderly patients with T2DM.
methodsIn a cohort of 256 elderly patients with T2DM, propensity score matching was used to balance age, sex, and diabetes duration. Clinical data were collected to calculate thyroid hormone sensitivity and analyze its correlation with DPN. A random forest model was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of free triiodothyronine/free thyroxine (FT
resultsPatients with DPN had a lower FT
conclusionIn elderly patients with T2DM with euthyroidism, a lower FT
