A Correction on
Impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormones is associated with high lipoprotein(a) level in euthyroid patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

By Zhong L, Lin R, Cao B, Zhong W, Tu M and Wei W (2025). Front. Endocrinol. 16:1591108. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2025.1591108

In the published article, there was an error in Figure 2D as published. We found that the figure in Figure 2C and Figure 2D are duplicated, and the x-axis of Figure 2D should be TFQI. The corrected Figure 2D and its caption appear below.

Figure 2
Box plots and bar charts illustrate the relationship between lipid levels and different quartiles.   A) Box plot showing Lp(a) levels across FT3/FT4 ratio quartiles with significant associations (p<0.001).   B) Box plot showing Lp(a) levels across TFQI quartiles with non-significant associations (p=0.082).   C) Bar chart showing the percentage of patients with high Lp(a) across FT3/FT4 quartiles, showing significant differences (p=0.013).   D) Bar chart showing the percentage of patients with high Lp(a) across TFQI quartiles, with non-significant differences (p=0.604).

Figure 2. The levels of Lp(a) and the prevalence of T2DM patients with high Lp(a) level across the quartiles of thyroid parameters. (A) The levels of Lp(a) across the FT3/FT4 ratio quartiles. (B) The levels of Lp(a) across the TFQI quartiles. (C) The prevalence of T2DM patients with high Lp(a) level across the FT3/FT4 ratio quartiles. (D) The prevalence of T2DM patients with high Lp(a) level across the TFQI quartiles. Q1, the 1st quartiles; Q2, the 2nd quartiles; Q3, the 3rd quartiles; Q4, the 4th quartiles; Lp(a), lipoprotein(a); NS, P>0.05; FT3, Free Triiodothyronine; FT4, Free Thyroxine; TFQI, Thyroid feedback quantile-based index; T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus.
