Review in European thyroid journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Primary congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common neonatal endocrine disorder, and may be etiologically subdivided into thyroid dysgenesis, referring to abnormal thyroid development, and dyshormonogenesis, where a defective thyroid hormone biosynthesis pathway results in inadequate hormone production despite a structurally intact gland. Delayed treatment of neonatal hypothyroidism may result in irreversible neurodevelopmental impairment; therefore, where available, CH screening programs facilitate prompt diagnosis. However, the molecular basis for CH remains unclear in most of the cases. This review summarizes current understanding of the genetic etiologies underlying primary CH and associated phenotypes. Classical genetic causes are discussed in the context of their role in normal thyroid physiology. Genes recently reported to play a role in the pathogenesis of CH are discussed, and novel genomic mechanisms in CH are described.
