Thyroid Autoimmunity and Subclinical Hypothyroidism in Prolactinoma: A Case Control Study.

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: This study was aimed at determining the frequency of thyroid autoimmunity and subclinical hypothyroidism in patients with hyperprolactinemia due to prolactinoma compared to well-matched healthy controls. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study wherein 78 treatment naïve prolactinoma patients and ninety-two healthy control subjects were recruited. Serum prolactin (PRL), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), total thyroxine (T4), circulating anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO), and anti-thyroglobulin (anti-Tg) antibody levels were measured in all study subjects. Progression of the antibody-positive population to subclinical hypothyroidism was determined. Results: The median PRL level among patients was 166 ng/ml (IQR 85-467) compared to 11.4 ng/ml (IQR 8.5-15.9) in controls ( Conclusion: We did not find an increased prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity among untreated prolactinoma patients compared to healthy controls. At the same time, subclinical hypothyroidism was more common in thyroid antibody-positive patients with hyperprolactinemia than positive controls.
