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

Thyroid disorders are common in pregnancy and if left untreated, they can have serious consequences. There is an ongoing debate as to whether thyroid screening in pregnancy should be universal. Current guidelines recommend a risk-based thyroid screening, which is a health strategy offering TSH measurement to higher-risk women only. Given the key role of risk stratification, in this narrative review, we aimed to (i) describe the established risk factors for thyroid disease in pregnancy; (ii) provide an update on the emerging risk factors; (iii) examine their overall potential utility. For this purpose, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, employing a combination of MeSH terms and relevant keywords, including 'thyroid dysfunction', 'pregnancy', 'risk factors', 'screening'. In conclusion, the current literature confirms that thyroid autoimmunity and moderate-to-severe iodine deficiency remain the most consistent and reproducible predictors of thyroid dysfunction.
