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

purposeTo compare ovarian function measures in euthyroid women with normogonadotropic anovulation in subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) or thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) to those without thyroid dysfunction.

designA prospective open-label cohort study analyzed anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone, estradiol and testosterone concentrations, ovarian volume, and polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) incidence between women with and without SCH or TAI in two study arms: polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian dysfunction (HPOD).

resultsThe prevalence of circulating thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) was higher in the PCOS compared to the HPOD arm (p = 0.006). No significant differences in the measured parameters were observed based on SCH or TAI status across the entire cohort or individual study arms, except for phenotype D of PCOS, where a greater volume (p = 0.031) and higher incidence of physiological lesions (p = 0.047) in the left ovary were noted in SCH, and phenotype A, where LH concentrations (p = 0.038) were significantly higher in women without TAI. In the PCOS arm, thyroglobulin antibodies (TGAb) concentration correlated negatively with FSH (p = 0.049) and positively with testosterone (p = 0.012) concentrations, while in the HPOD arm, TPOAb and FSH concentrations were negatively correlated (p = 0.028).

conclusionsNo clinically significant impact of SCH on ovarian function measures was demonstrated. Regarding TAI, significant correlations with still uncertain clinical significance were observed with FSH concentrations, both in PCOS and in HPOD. In view of the obtained results, the benefits of thyroxine supplementation to address menstrual irregularities and improve obstetric outcomes in the examined conditions, require support with clinical evidence.
