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

Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between maternal hypothyroidism during pregnancy and corpus callosum development in neonates. Methods: The hypothyroidism group included 64 neonates born to women diagnosed with hypothyroidism during pregnancy, while the control group comprised 101 neonates born to women without a history of hypothyroidism. Transcranial ultrasound (TCUS), together with medical imaging analysis software, was used to evaluate corpus callosum development, cerebral reactivity, and early neurodevelopmental patterns during the neonatal period. Results: Assessment of corpus callosum development across early postnatal stages showed no statistically significant differences in growth rates between preterm and full-term neonates during the first 0 to 2 weeks of life ( Conclusion: Maternal hypothyroidism during pregnancy is associated with atypical corpus callosum development and altered cerebral reactivity in neonates. These findings should be interpreted cautiously, as the observational design precludes causal inference and residual confounding cannot be excluded.
