Diagnosis and stage of Graves' ophthalmopathy: Efficacy of quantitative measurements of the lacrimal gland based on 3-T magnetic resonance imaging.

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
The aim of the present study was to determine the efficacy of quantitative measurements of the lacrimal gland based on 3-T magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the diagnosis and staging of Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). The study retrospectively enrolled 33 patients with GO (the GO group) and 24 healthy volunteers [the healthy control (HC) group] with orbit MR imaging performed using a 3-T MR scanner. Quantitative parameters of the lacrimal gland, including axial length, axial width, axial area, coronal length, coronal width, coronal area, volume and signal intensity ratio (SIR) of the lacrimal gland to the ipsilateral temporal muscle were measured. The difference of quantitative parameters between the GO and HC groups, or between active and inactive GO groups were evaluated using a Student's
