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

This study was designed to assess iodine status of mother-fetus dyad by estimation of spot urine iodine concentration (UIC) in the study district. It is a cross-sectional study of 250 pregnant women with euthyroid status and their term neonates residing in Dakshina Kannada district. Neonates with foetal growth restriction or requiring intensive care were excluded. Median UIC was quantified using modified Sandell-Kolthoff reaction by microplate method. World Health Organization (WHO) classification was used to categorise the iodine status of pregnant women. Among 250 pregnant women, the majority were primigravida (38%). Median maternal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) was 1.54 mIU/l, and median UIC was 352 mcg/l. Urine iodine levels were insufficient (<150 mcg/l) in 1.2% (
