Thyroxine Supplementation in Pregnant Women After Thyroidectomy for Thyroid Cancer and Neonatal Birth Weight.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Patients are often supplemented with a sufficient dose of thyroxine after thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer. However, the influence of thyroxine supplementation on fetal growth in pregnant women after thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of thyroxine supplementation on neonatal birth weight. This cohort study included 49,896 pregnant women (278 patients with a history of thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer and 39,363 control cases after exclusion). Thyroid parameters were examined in pregnant women and their newborns. The associations between maternal thyroid function and neonatal birth weight and small for gestational age were studied using regression analyses. In the levothyroxine supplementation group, free thyroxine (FT4) levels were significantly higher in both early pregnancy (
