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

purposeWe aimed to evaluate the performance of structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based quantitative measurements at extraocular muscle (EOM), orbital fat (OF), and especially lacrimal gland (LG) in predicting response to glucocorticoid (GC) in patients with active and moderate-severe thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO).

methodsForty-seven active and moderate-severe TAOs (responsive group, 29 patients and 58 eyes; unresponsive group, 18 patients and 36 eyes) were enrolled. Pretreatment MRI-based parameters of EOM, OF, and LG, and clinical factors were retrospectively collected and compared between two groups. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were used to assess the predictive value of identified independent variables.

resultsResponsive group showed significantly higher minimum signal intensity ratio of EOM (EOM-SIR

conclusionsStructural MRI-based quantitative measurements at EOM, OF, and LG, specially EOM-SIR
