Association of Thyroid Dysfunction and Autoimmunity in Pregnant Women with Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeThis study was undertaken to find out the proportion of women with thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy complicated by diabetes mellitus; to find out the association, if any, of thyroid dysfunction and of antithyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies during pregnancy in women with pregestational (PGDM) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); and to find out the maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnancies complicated by both diabetes mellitus and thyroid dysfunction.
methodsA cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Kolkata, India, for a period of 1 year. Sixty-four pregnant women with diabetes, both PGDM and GDM, were recruited from the antenatal clinic. They were managed and followed up till 6 weeks postpartum. Their plasma glucose levels were estimated, and thyroid function was evaluated periodically. All relevant data were recorded and analyzed statistically.
resultsMost (81.25%) women had GDM. Forty percent women suffered from some form of thyroid disorder, mostly (37.5%) hypothyroidism. Thyroid dysfunction was not associated with the type of diabetes mellitus (GDM or PGDM) (
conclusionsThyroid disorders are quite common during pregnancy complicated by diabetes mellitus. The study findings warrant routine screening for thyroid abnormalities in diabetic pregnant women. These women have increased rate of maternal and neonatal complications.
