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

purposeA link between maternal thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy and the risk of cognitive and behavioral problems in the offspring has previously been established; however, the potential effects of maternal thyroid autoimmunity on neurodevelopment in the absence of maternal hypothyroidism are less clear. The present review aims to highlight the gaps in knowledge in this regard and provide a thorough assessment of relevant literature.

methodRelated keywords searched in MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus till January 2021.

resultsThere is some evidence that neuropsychological and intellectual developments of offspring are adversely affected by maternal thyroid autoimmunity, although the results of available studies are not concordant. The tools and measurements that have been applied in different studies to assess neurodevelopment or IQ vary widely and the children born to mothers with thyroid autoimmunity have been assessed at different chronological stages of life. Such variations may explain some of the differences across studies. In addition, the definition of thyroid autoimmunity has been based on TPOAb cut points provided by manufacturers in most cases, but it is preferable to define these values based on age, trimester, and method-specific reference ranges.

conclusionWell-designed studies are needed to assess verbal and non-verbal neurocognition of offspring born to mothers with autoimmune thyroid disease before or during pregnancy.
