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
backgroundThe high constitutive, or ligand-independent, activity of the thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) is of clinical importance in some thyroid conditions, particularly well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma remnants following incomplete ablative therapy (surgery and radioiodine). Under these conditions, even total suppression of TSH by thyroid hormone administration does not fully reduce TSHR activity, a driver of thyrocyte growth.
methodsCS-17 is a murine monoclonal antibody that has inverse agonist activity in that it suppresses TSHR constitutive activity. This study crystallized the CS-17 Fab and determined its atomic structure at a resolution of 3.4 Å.
resultsIn silico docking of this structure to that of the TSHR extracellular domain was accomplished by targeting to TSHR residue tyrosine 195 (Y195) known to contribute to the CS-17 epitope. High affinity interaction between these two molecules, primarily by the CS-17 immunoglobulin heavy chain, was validated by energetic analysis (K
conclusionsStructural insight at atomic resolution of a TSHR antibody with inverse agonist activity opens the way for the development of a molecule with therapeutic potential, particularly in thyroid carcinoma. For this purpose, CS-17 will require "humanization" by substitution of its constant region (Fc component). In addition, with its epitope defined, the CS-17 affinity can be increased further by mutagenesis of selected amino acids in its heavy- and light-chain complementarity determining regions.
