The association between hypothyroidism and perinatal outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

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
purposeTo compare pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with and without concomitant hypothyroidism.
methodsA retrospective population-based cohort study including all women with an ICD-9 diagnosis of PCOS in the US between 2004 and 2014, who delivered in the third trimester or had a maternal death. We compared women with a concomitant diagnosis of hypothyroidism to those without. Women with hyperthyroidism were excluded. Pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal outcomes were compared between the two groups.
resultsOverall, 14,882 women met inclusion criteria. Among them, 1882 (12.65%) had a concomitant diagnosis of hypothyroidism, and 13,000 (87.35%) did not. Women with concomitant hypothyroidism, compared to those without, were characterized by increased maternal age (25.5% ≥ 35 years vs. 18%, p < 0.001, respectively), and had a higher rate of multiple gestations (7.1% vs. 5.7%, p = 0.023). Interestingly, pregnancy, delivery and neonatal outcomes were comparable between the groups, except for a higher rate of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates in the group with hypothyroidism (4.1% vs. 3.2%, p = 0.033) (Tables 2 and 3). In a multivariate logistic regression adjusting for potential confounders, hypothyroidism was no longer found to be associated with SGA (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.99-1.75, p = 0.057), but was found to increase the odds for preeclampsia (aOR 1.30, 95% CI 1.06-1.59, p = 0.012).
conclusionsIn patients with PCOS, concomitant hypothyroidism significantly increases the risk for preeclampsia. Unexpectedly, other pregnancy complications commonly increased by hypothyroidism were not increased in women with PCOS, likely due to the inherent elevated baseline pregnancy risks of PCOS.
