Clinical utility of TSH receptor antibody levels in Graves' orbitopathy: a comparison of two TSH receptor antibody immunoassays.
Article in Central-European journal of immunology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
introductionThyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor antibodies (TRAB) play a role in the development of Graves' orbitopathy (GO), and measurements of the TRAB level may be helpful in monitoring GO treatment. AIM OF THE STUDY: To assess the correlation of TRAB levels measured with two different assays: third-generation TRAB assay (TRAB Cobas) and novel Immulite assay (TRAB Immulite), in patients with moderate-to-severe GO treated with intravenous glucocorticoid pulse therapy (ivGCs). MATERIAL AND
methodsForty patients with active, moderate-to-severe GO underwent clinical and laboratory evaluation before, in the middle, and after ivGCs therapy. The correlation of TRAB levels with GO signs was evaluated. Laboratory and clinical findings were compared according to the response to ivGCs. TRAB concentration was measured with Immulite TSI assay and with Elecsys IMA.
resultsAll patients were TRAB positive in both assays at the beginning of the treatment. The decrease of both TRAB Immulite and Cobas levels in serum during ivGCs was statistically significant. We observed strong correlation between both TRAB levels before and after ivGCs. There was no statistically significant difference in antibody levels between patients with good response and no response to the treatment. We did not find any correlation between antibody levels and GO features before the therapy, but measurements during ivGCs showed comparable correlation of both TRAB levels with GO activity.
conclusionsWe found similarity between Immulite assay and third-generation TRAB assay in the assessment of patients with GO treated with ivGCs. Both TRAB levels showed comparable correlation with GO activity during ivGCs therapy.
