Association between fatty acid profile and normal thyroid hormone with different glucose status.
Observational study 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
backgroundStudies have demonstrated that thyroid hormone is regulated by both glucose and fatty acids. However, previous studies focused on patients with thyroid dysfunction rather than with normal thyroid hormone. The purpose of research was to explore the relationship between normal thyroid hormone and fatty acid metabolism with different glucose status.
methodsThis was an observational study. In all participants, basic demographic characteristics, blood lipid profiles, glycemic status and thyroid hormone levels were assessed. Additionally, serum fatty acid profiles were determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
results919 subjects were enrolled (239 with diabetes; 680 without diabetes). Multiple linear regression analyses showed that in the diabetic group, levels of free thyroxine (FT4) showed a negative correlation with eicosatrienoic acid (β=-0.289 p < 0.01), while levels of arachidonic acid (β = 0.178 p = 0.016), eicosanoic acid (β = 0.188 p = 0.018) and alcohol consumption (β = 0.147 p = 0.026) exhibited a positive correlation with FT4. In non-diabetic group, FT4 was negatively related to levels of palmitic acid (β=-0.32 p < 0.01), linoleic acid (β=-0.15 p = 0.04), myristic acid(β=-0.304 p < 0.01), docosapentaenoic acid(β=-0.215 p = 0.04), age (β=-0.109 p < 0.01), HDL-C (β=-0.116 p < 0.01) and smoking (β = 0.11 p < 0.01); FT4 was positively correlated with levels of arachidic acid (β = 0.305 p < 0.01) and palmitoleic acid (β = 0.569 p < 0.01).
conclusionsThe relationship between normal thyroid hormone levels and fatty acid levels significantly differed among different glucose status. These findings provide further insights into the relationship between the serum fatty acid metabolism profile and in individuals with different glucose state. The study provided clinical data that can inform the prevention and treatment of lipid metabolism disorders and cardiovascular disease. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
