Diagnoses of obstetric and postpartum thyroid disease: a Danish validation study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Different diagnoses of thyroid disease are available in the 10th International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), but the validity of diagnoses related to obstetric and postpartum thyroid disease is unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of all patients in the North Denmark Region with a diagnosis of postpartum thyroiditis (PPT) (ICD-10: O905) from 2016 to 2019 or obstetric thyroid disease in 2019 (ICD-10: O992B (hypothyroidism) or O992C (hyperthyroidism)) registered in the Danish National Hospital Register. Information from nationwide registers and medical records were used to assess the validity. Among patients with an O905-diagnosis (n = 40), abnormal thyroid function test results were seen in all cases. A total of eight patients (20.0%) were positive for thyrotropin receptor antibodies postpartum, however, in low titers, and PPT was verified in 39 of 40 cases (97.5%). Altogether 45 of 50 patients with an O992B-diagnosis (90.0%) correctly had hypothyroidism, whereas hyperthyroidism was found in 25 of 39 patients with an O992C-diagnosis (64.1%). This is the first study to validate ICD-10 diagnoses of obstetric and postpartum thyroid disease. A high validity was seen for PPT (O905) and obstetric hypothyroidism (O992B), whereas for obstetric hyperthyroidism (O992C), the diagnosis could not be verified in one third of the cases.
