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

To clarify immunological differences among patients with Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's disease (HD) at various levels of severity, we examined the expression of the CD154 molecules on peripheral T cells, which regulate B cell activation, B cell differentiation, and T-cell survival. We found decreases in the intensities of CD154 on peripheral CD4(+) cells from euthyroid patients with GD and HD, but we did not find any differences between patients with different disease severities. CD8(+) cells did not express CD154 molecules. Thus, CD154 expression on CD4(+) cells may be related to the pathogenesis of the autoimmune thyroid diseases, not to the disease severity.
