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
objectivesThe purpose of the work is to measure placental elasticity in pregnant women with hypothyroidism by shear wave elastography (SWE), and to evaluate the clinical value of SWE on placental function in pregnant women with hypothyroidism.
methodsIn total, 57 Hypothyroidism (Hypothyroidism group) and 74 normal control women (NC group) who received antenatal examination in our hospital from February 2024 to November 2024. Placental mean elasticity (E-mean), mean shear wave velocities (SWV-mean), uterine artery/umbilical arteries related parameters (UtA/UmbA-PI/RI/S/D) were measured. The pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women were followed up. The correlation between E-mean and preterm birth, uterine/umbilical artery parameters was analyzed. Meanwhile, the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive power of E-mean on placental function.
resultsThere were significant difference in E-mean, SWV-mean,UtA -PI,UtA -RI,UtA -S/D between the Hypothyroidism group and the NC group (PE-mean/PSMV-mean/PUtA-PI/PUtA-RI/PtA-S/D=0.023/0.013/0.047/0.038/0.025).The most effective parameter for evaluating placental function was the E-mean (AUC = 0.86). E-mean was positively correlated with the incidence of preterm birth and UtA-PI, UtA- RI, UtA-S/D, but not significantly correlated with low-birth-weight infants and fetal distress. Compared with the NC group, pregnant women with hypothyroidism had a higher incidence of premature birth.
conclusionsThe hardness of the placenta could be quantitatively evaluated by SWE. E-mean was the most effective parameter for evaluating placental function in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during late pregnancy. Pregnant women with hypothyroidism had greater placental hardness and a higher incidence of premature birth.
