Abortion may be associated with elevated risk of future hypothyroidism.

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
objectiveFetal microchimerism during pregnancy and abortion has been linked with autoimmune hypothyroidism in females. We conducted a case-control study to investigate the odds of "abortion in the past" in the newly diagnosed hypothyroid females compared to their age-matched euthyroid controls.
methodsAll consecutive newly diagnosed hypothyroid females, over 1 year, were enrolled as cases. Age-matched euthyroid controls were selected from the same region. The exposure variable tested was "past history of abortion (elective or therapeutic)."
resultsTotally, 120 cases and 172 controls were recruited over 1 year with a mean age of 42.2 ± 9.8 years and 41.1 ± 12.4 years, respectively. The exposure variable (abortion) was present in 71 (59%) cases and 10 (6%) controls. Odds ratio (OR): 23.5 (12.2-48.9) DISCUSSION AND
conclusionThe study suggests that abortion (elective or therapeutic) in the past is strongly associated with newly diagnosed hypothyroidism in females aged 42.2 ± 9.8 years; OR: 23.5 (
