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

purposeGraves' orbitopathy (GO) is one of the most frequent orbital disorders and is the most common cause of proptosis in adults. GO is described as chronic inflammation of orbital and periorbital tissues. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors for severe GO in patients with Graves' disease (GD). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a prospective cross-sectional study done on 52 newly diagnosed patients of GD with GO documented by thyroid

resultsMajority of the patients had mild orbitopathy (34 [65.4%]) followed by moderate to severe (18 [34.6%]). CAS was active in 13.5% of the study group. There was a statistically significant male preponderance in severe GO. Current smoking increased the risk of severe GO (

conclusionApproximately 35% of the patients with GO have severe disease, with a higher risk in men. This study identified male gender, current smoking, TRAb >2 ULN, and differential IOP >6 mmHg to be associated with severe GO.
