Pregnancy outcome in subclinical hypothyroidism with and without thyroid peroxidase antibodies-a prospective cohort 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
backgroundSubclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) in pregnancy is associated with adverse foetomaternal outcomes. The literature is scarce with respect to maternal and perinatal outcomes in women with mild SCH (TSH levels between 2.5-4 mIU/L).
objectivesThe primary objective of the study was to compare the pregnancy outcome between SCH and euthyroid women. The secondary objectives were to find out the proportion of women with SCH having thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and to see the effect of TPOAb positivity on foetomaternal outcomes. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 178 pregnant women were recruited in the first trimester, and those with TSH between 0.1 and 2.4 mIU/L were considered as euthyroid and 2.5-4mIU/L were labelled as SCH. Women with SCH underwent testing for TPOAb. All women were followed until delivery, and foetomaternal outcomes were assessed.
resultsAmongst SCH group, there was a significantly higher proportion of overweight and obese women (76/91 (83.51%) vs 59/87 (68%), p = 0.031). The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission was higher with adjusted odds ratio of 3.24 (1.41-7.43) in women with SCH as compared to euthyroid women. Otherwise, there was no difference in foetomaternal outcomes between the two groups. The proportion of gestational diabetes mellitus, intrauterine growth retardation and still birth were higher in SCH women with TPOAb as compared to euthyroid. Amongst SCH women, the proportion of induced labour was lower (aOR:0.27 (0.08-0.93) whereas the proportion of stillbirth and low APGAR scores were higher in TPOAb-positive women with a statistically significant difference and adjusted odds ratio (aOR:20.18 (1.84-220.83)) and (aOR:4.77 (1.06-21.3)), respectively, when compared to TPOAb-negative women.
conclusionThere appears to be no difference in pregnancy outcomes between women with SCH and euthyroid women except higher NICU admission in SCH group. Future multi-centre large prospective studies are required to understand better about the pregnancy outcomes in these women.
