Variables Contributing to Thyroid (Dys)Function in Pregnant Women: More than Thyroid Antibodies?
Article in European thyroid journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Variability in thyroid function in pregnant women is the result of 2 main determinants, each accounting for approximately half of it. The first is the genetically determined part of which the knowledge increases fast, but most remains to be discovered. The second determinant is caused by an ensemble of variables of which thyroid autoimmunity is the best known, but also by others such as parity, smoking, age, and BMI. More recently, new candidate variables have been proposed, such as iron, endocrine disruptors, and the ethnicity of the pregnant women. In the future, the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid (dys)function may be optimized by the use of each individual's pituitary-thyroid set point, corrected with a factor taking into account the impact of nongenetically determined variables.
