1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Adequate control of thyroid function is crucial for optimal pregnancy outcomes and neurodevelopment of the offspring, and testing for thyroid function is ideally performed using manufacturer- and gestation-specific reference ranges. While universal screening for thyroid dysfunction is not recommended, targeted case finding of women at risk of thyroid disease during pregnancy is advised. A number of controversies continue to fuel debate including: (i) the target range for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in women with subfertility planning pregnancy, (ii) management of mild thyroid hypofunction before and during pregnancy, (iii) the treatment of thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody-positive euthyroid women with levothyroxine, (iv) the optimal choice of antithyroid treatment in women with hyperthyroidism. A significant body of evidence has accumulated in recent years, including large systematic reviews and meta-analyses of observational studies determining effects of thyroid dysfunction on pregnancy and fetal outcomes. In addition, outcomes from important randomised trials continue to inform current guidance on how to best care for women with thyroid dysfunction before and during pregnancy.
