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

introductionA novel long-term murine model for Graves' disease (GD) using repeated, long-term immunizations with recombinant adenovirus expressing the extracellular A-subunit of the human thyrotropin receptor (Ad-TSHR) was applied to evaluate the functional anti-TSHR-antibody (TSHR-Ab) profile.

methodsBALB/c mice received 7 immunizations with either 10

resultsNineteen (8 Ad-TSHR-, 4 Ad-GFP-immunized, and 7 native) mice were investigated. All native mice were negative for TSHR-binding inhibitory immunoglobulins (TBII) prior to immunization. Native and Ad-GFP mice were negative in weeks 17 and 27 for TBII and TBAb/TSAb. In native mice, the free thyroxine (fT4) levels (median [25th percentile; 75th percentile]) were in the upper normal range (1.2 ng/mL [1.1; 1.6]) prior to immunization, at weeks 17 (2.2 ng/mL [2.1; 2.4]) and 27 (1.4 ng/mL [1.1; 1.7]), respectively. In contrast, in Ad-TSHR-immunized mice, fT4 values were markedly increased at weeks 17 (4.4 ng/mL [3.9; 6]) and 27 (4.5 ng/mL [4.2; 6]) compared to those in Ad-GFP mice (2 ng/mL [1.8; 2.1] and 1.4 ng/mL [1.1; 1.6]), respectively (

conclusionsTBAb/TSAb were highly prevalent in Ad-TSHR-immunized mice, thus confirming the successful establishment of a novel, long-term murine model for GD. All TBAb- and TSAb-positive Ad-TSHR-immunized mice were TBII-positive. Thus, the binding immunoassay did not differentiate between TSHR-Ab functionality.
