Assessment of visual acuity, refraction changes, and proptosis in different ages of patients with thyroid diseases.
Article in International journal of endocrinology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Objective. The aim of the study was to assess visual acuity, refractive status, and eye proptosis in children and young adults with Graves' disease. Material and Methods. We have done investigations of visual acuity, refraction, and eye proptosis in 16 children, 14 teenagers, and 49 adults with Graves' disease at Eye Clinic of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Medical Academy. Data were compared with 14 children, 14 teenagers, and 35 adults of similar age without the same diseases (control group). Results. In the present study we observed a significant decrease of visual acuity in teenagers (0.73 ± 0.18, P = 0.001) and adults (0.7 ± 0.16, P = 0.001) with Graves' disease. Myopia was ascertained more frequent in teenagers (42.8 percent) and adults (44.9 percent) with Graves' disease. In our study exophthalmometer values were higher in children (15.94 ± 1.98 mm, P = 0.003), teenagers (17.28 ± 2.99 mm, P = 0.01), and adults (18.05 ± 2.91 mm, P = 0.001) in comparison with the controls. Conclusions. The data we have found suggest that Graves' disease in children, teenagers, and adults has influence on vision acuity, refraction, and eye proptosis.
