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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate serum prolidase levels and its association with oxidative stress in autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). MATERIALS AND

methods25 with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) and 25 patients Graves' disease (GD), and 27 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. The patients with signs of Graves' ophthalmopathy were excluded from the study. Serum samples were obtained in euthyroid period at the third month of treatment. Serum prolidase, total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidative stress (TOS), and total free sulfhydryl (-SH) levels were measured.

resultsSerum prolidase levels were significantly higher in the patients with GD compared to the HT and the healthy control group. Oxidative stress index (OSI) and TOS levels of the patients with both GD and HT were significantly higher compared to those of the control group (p < 0.001, for each), while -SH levels were significantly lower (p < 0.001, for each). There was no significant difference between the patients with HT and healthy control group in terms of prolidase levels (p = 0.580). Prolidase levels were positively correlated with TOS and OSI and negatively correlated with -SH (r = 0.565, p = 0.003; r = 0.604, p = 0.001; r = -0.532, p = 0.006).

conclusionSerum prolidase activity is increased in GD patients without signs of ophthalmopathy, and showed a positive correlation with oxidative stress parameters.
