Association of maternal thyroid peroxidase antibody exposure with children's emotional and behavioral problems.
Article in European thyroid journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: Maternal thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) positivity has been associated with a variety of pregnancy complications and has potential neuropsychological developmental implications for the offspring. The aim of our study was to explore the effect of maternal TPOAb levels on emotional and behavioral problems in children. Design: The study was designed as a cohort study. Participants: Based on the Ma'anshan birth cohort in China, 2,464 mother-infant pairs were included in this study. Measurements: Repeated blood samples were collected from pregnant women, and TPOAb and FT4 were measured retrospectively by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA). The strengths and difficulties questionnaire was used to assess the emotional and behavioral problems of 4-year-old preschoolers. Results: After adjusting for potential confounders, maternal TPOAb positivity during the third trimester of pregnancy was found to be associated with an elevated risk of conduct problems in girls, with an odds ratio (OR) of 2.190 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.137-4.219). Conversely, maternal TPOAb positivity in the first trimester was linked to a decreased incidence of prosocial behavior in boys, with an OR of 0.451 (95% CI: 0.237-0.861). Conclusions: Maternal TPOAb positivity during pregnancy may be associated with emotional and behavioral problems in preschool-aged children.
