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

Graves' orbitopathy is an autoimmune disease of the ocular adnex connective tissue and most commonly occurs together with Grave's hyperthyroidism. Anti-TSH receptor antibodies are specific for Graves' disease and are related to both the course of thyroid and orbital diseases. An active inflammatory disease stage is followed by an inactive stage of incomplete remission in most patients. Periorbital swelling, proptosis, diplopia and lid retraction severely impair the patients' quality of life. In the active state anti-inflammatory treatment consists of i.v. steroids, off-label use of immunomodulatory medication, selenium and in emergency cases orbital decompression. Fortunately, defects in inactive stable Graves' orbitopathy can be successfully treated by surgery and involve decompression for proptosis reduction, muscle recession to correct diplopia and (finally) lid surgery.
