Associations of Prenatal Exposure to Triclosan and Maternal Thyroid Hormone Levels: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
Objective: To quantitatively evaluate associations between exposure to triclosan during pregnancy and maternal thyroid hormone levels. Method: The databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were systematically searched to identify relevant studies on the relationship between prenatal exposure to triclosan and maternal levels of serum thyroid hormone published before October 22, 2019. Stata 12.0 was used to examine the heterogeneity among the eligible studies. Results: Seven studies involving a total of 4,136 participants were included. Overall, descriptive analysis provided no indication that exposure to TCS during pregnancy was related to either maternal FT4 levels (ES = 0.01, 95% CI: -0.03 to 0.05, Conclusion: The results indicated that exposure to triclosan during pregnancy has no significant influence on maternal levels of thyroid hormone. On account of the inconsistency of existing research designs and study locations, further studies and replication are necessary to confirm these findings.
