Thyroid function monitoring during pregnancy in euthyroid women with thyroid autoimmunity.
Article in Endocrine connections, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 autoimmunity (TAI) may be present in 1-17% of pregnant women. Monitoring of thyroid function in euthyroid pregnant women positive for anti-thyroperoxidase antibodies (TPOAb+) is recommended. Objective: To determine the prevalence and possible clinical and biological risk factors of biochemical progression (rise in serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) > 2.5 mU/L) at second blood sampling during pregnancy, in euthyroid women (TSH ≤ 2.5 mU/L) according to their TPOAb status. Methods: This study included demographic and biological data from two previously published cohorts (n = 274 women from August 1996 to May 1997 Copenhagen cohort, and n = 66 women from January 2013 to December 2014 Brussels cohort) having at least two measurements of TSH and free thyroxine (FT4) and at least one of TPOAb during spontaneously achieved singleton pregnancies. Results: The majority of women studied did not show biochemical progression. Only 4.2% progressed, significantly more frequently among TPOAb+ women, as compared to TPOAb- group (9.4 vs 2.7%, P = 0.015). No rise in serum TSH > 4 mU/L at 2nd sampling was observed. Higher baseline TSH levels were associated with biochemical progression in both TPOAb+ (P = 0.05) and TPOAb- women (P < 0.001), whereas maternal age, BMI, multiparity, smoking, FT4, and TPOAb concentrations were not significantly different between women with and without progression. Conclusions: Only a minority of euthyroid women with thyroid autoimmunity presented biochemical progression and none with a TSH > 4 mU/L. Larger studies are needed to better target the subset of women who would benefit most from repeated thyroid function monitoring during pregnancy.
