Can Early Thyroid Profiling Help Avert Spontaneous Abortions/Early Pregnancy Loss: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Presence of thyroid autoantibodies in euthyroid women can result in various complications such as miscarriages and pre-eclampsia. Women who are hypothyroid have an increased risk of anaemia, infertility, and preterm birth. Spontaneous miscarriages have been reported in association with women with antithyroid antibodies. This can be utilised as a supplementary marker for the mother's immune system failure. The goal of this study was to compare the thyroid profiles of pregnant women who had a normal delivery to those who had a high-risk obstetric history, and to see if early thyroid profiling can help prevent poor pregnancy outcomes. In conclusion, our analysis has demonstrated that women with abnormal values of T4, T3, anti-thyroid peroxidase (TPO), and TSH were associated with fetal demise when compared to women with normal values of T4, T3, anti-TPO, and TSH. Anti-TPO levels were shown to be elevated in women with a poor obstetric history, making early thyroid profiling improve outcomes in pregnancy. Hypothyroidism with increased TSH and anti-TPO levels may have a negative impact on obstetric history, resulting in the loss of an early pregnancy.
