Teprotumumab: a novel therapeutic monoclonal antibody for thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy.
Review in Expert opinion on investigational drugs, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is a disfiguring, potentially blinding, and sub-optimally managed autoimmune condition. Current therapy of active TAO consists most frequently of glucocorticoid steroids, orbital radiation, or B-cell depletion; all of which are associated with substantial side effects. Teprotumumab (Tepezza) is a human monoclonal antibody against the insulin-like growth factor type I receptor (IGF-IR), recently evaluated in two clinical trials for active moderate-to-severe TAO that was recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in TAO. AREAS COVERED: This article reviews phase II and III placebo-controlled, double-masked, prospective, multicenter studies assessing the efficacy and safety of teprotumumab for the treatment of active, moderate-to-severe TAO. EXPERT OPINION: Teprotumumab has demonstrated substantial and rapid improvement in Clinical Activity Score and proptosis reduction in TAO compared to placebo. Subjective diplopia and quality of life were also improved in both clinical trials. Teprotumumab exhibited a favorable safety profile, with transient hyperglycemia, muscle cramps, and auditory side effects being associated with the drug; these were usually transient. The trial findings indicate that teprotumumab is a promising, potential first-line therapy for treating TAO.
