The relationship between TSH levels and clinical pregnancy outcomes for patients who undergo in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection: a retrospective study.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Thyroid dysfunction is linked with adverse pregnancy outcomes, an upper limit of a normal thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) threshold of 4.12-4.5 mIU/L should be considered for subclinical hypothyroidism in the infertile female population. Whereas, it's controversial whether or not the infertility thresholds for upper limit of TSH threshold of 2.5 mIU/L. In our study examines the correlation of optimal TSH levels and clinical pregnancy outcomes after fresh in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) embryo transfer cycles. Methods: Patients who underwent fresh IVF/ICSI embryo transfer cycles for the first time who presented between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2017 at the Chongqing Institute of Reproductive and Genetic, Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children were enrolled. We excluded patients with ≥40 years, body mass index (BMI) ≤18 or ≥28 kg/m Results: A total of 6,088 patients who undergo IVF/ICSI were included. We first detected that the live birth rate had a statistically significant difference when the TSH level was 3 mIU/L. With the TSH ≤3 mIU/L group having a higher live birth rate than the TSH >3 mIU/L group (51.79% Conclusions: Patients undergoing IVF/ICSI with a serum TSH level ≤3 mIU/L may have a higher live birth rate rather than ≤2.5 or ≤4 mIU/L.
