1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveFamilial nonautoimmune hyperthyroidism (FNAH) is a rare disease. To date there are few, if any, reports of pregnancies in women with FNAH. Our objective here is to present such a case.

methodsFree thyroxine (free T4), free triiodothyronine (free T3), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and antibodies related to the thyroid were measured. Fetal thyroid function indicators including thyroid volume and ossification were checked using ultrasound. Thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) gene analyses were performed.

resultsThe patient was a 30-year-old woman with no past medical history. She was introduced to our hospital in the fifth gestational week for pregnancy care because her family history revealed that her mother had nonautoimmune hyperthyroidism with a TSHR-activating germ-line mutation (Asn406Ser). The serum free T4 was 1.88 ng/dL (normal, 0.62 to 1.19 ng/dL), free T3 was 3.27 pg/mL (normal, 2.55 to 3.88 pg/mL), TSH was 0.02 μIU/mL (normal, 0.007 to 3.619 μIU/mL), and TSHR was negative which were considered to be consistent with mild primary hyperthyroidism. Serum free T4, free T3, and TSH concentrations were monitored every 4 to 6 weeks with a peak free T4 of 2.23 ng/dL noted at gestational week 9. The patient had no signs related to hyperthyroidism throughout pregnancy. The patient delivered a 3,518 g girl at 40 weeks of gestation. Genetic analysis of her

conclusionWomen with FNAH and mild thyrotoxicosis prior to pregnancy may have continuous hyperthyroidism with additional change due to the series of human chorionic gonadotropin secretion during pregnancy.
