Evaluation of Thyroid Function Status Among Diagnosed Cases of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in a Tribal-Preponderant State in India.
Article in Cureus, 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
introductionMenstrual disorders and infertility are among the most common physical and psychological stressors affecting women of reproductive age. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of hypothyroidism among polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients diagnosed based on the Rotterdam criteria. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 139 cases of diagnosed PCOS at a tertiary care center in Jharkhand, India, from October 2019 to May 2021. Patients attending the Outpatient Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and diagnosed with PCOS by radiology experts via ultrasound were enrolled in the study. Diagnosis of PCOS was confirmed by the Rotterdam criteria for PCOS.
resultsOut of 139 participants, 29 (20.87%) had thyroid-stimulating hormone levels of >5 μIU/mL, and 110 (79.13%) had thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels of <5 μIU/mL, resulting in a hypothyroidism prevalence of 20.87%. Body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), total testosterone, serum luteinizing hormone, and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels were higher among PCOS patients than the reference values.
conclusionAs hypothyroidism is linked to reproductive hormone imbalances, and its symptoms often overlap with PCOS, assessing thyroid function alongside reproductive hormone profiles can improve understanding and management of PCOS.
