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

objectiveThyroid eye disease (TED), an autoimmune inflammatory process involving the orbital tissues around the eye, is the most common extra-thyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease (GD). Due to changes in the patient's appearance, TED is a socially and visually disabling condition with significant impacts on quality of life. The aim of this study is to assess predictors of strabismus, a severe manifestation of TED.

designSingle-institution retrospective case-control study. Cases of Graves' ophthalmopathy patients with strabismus were matched 1:1 to controls of Graves' ophthalmopathy patients without strabismus by age and sex. PATIENTS: Patients ≥18 years old with severe Graves' ophthalmopathy who received their medical care at UCLA with strabismus between 2012 and 2015. MEASUREMENTS: Eligibility criteria for cases was a diagnosis of Graves' ophthalmopathy with a subsequent diagnosis of strabismus. Using conditional logistic regression, the odds ratios of developing strabismus following the diagnosis of Graves' disease were assessed. The prognostic indicators assessed include race, ethnicity, cigarette smoking (active), serum thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody positivity, serum thyroglobulin (Tg) antibody positivity, antithyroidal medication use, and steroid use.

resultsThe study sample (45 cases 1:1 matched against 45 controls) was comprised primarily of non-Hispanic, non-Latino Caucasian women with TED (mean ± SD age 63.0 ± 13.1 years). There were no significant predictors for the development of strabismus, including cigarette smoking (active), serum thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody positivity, serum thyroglobulin (Tg) antibody positivity, antithyroidal medication, and steroid use.

conclusionsNo significant predictors of strabismus, a severe manifestation of Graves' ophthalmopathy, were identified following a diagnosis of TED in this study.
