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

The present study aimed to investigate whether the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) autoantibodies (Ab) from mothers with Graves' disease (GD) could cause neonatal thyroid disease and the underlying mechanisms of this. An adenovirus expressing the TSHR A-subunit and a control adenovirus expressing β-galactosidase was constructed by Beijing Sino Geno Max Co., Ltd. The sequences were subsequently verified and amplified via PCR. A GD model was established in female BALB/c mice (n=90) by three intramuscular injections of a TSHR-expressing adenovirus (Ad-TSHR). Mice injected with Ad-β-galactosidase served as a sham immunization group. The immunized females were paired with unimmunized males to generate offspring. The serum levels of TSHR-Ab and thyroxine (T4) of mothers and neonates were measured after delivery. Breast milk was collected from the stomachs of neonatal mice to determine the TSHR-Ab levels. The positive rate of serum TSHR-Ab (>0.3 IU/l) in the TSHR group was 99% (89/90) and 0% in the sham group. The mother mice in the TSHR group had elevated serum T4 levels and the thyroid pathological features of Graves' hyperthyroidism.GD mice gave birth to smaller newborns with thyroid pathological changes and higher serum levels of TSHR-Ab and T4, compared to the offspring in the sham group. The TSHR-Ab levels in breast milk from the GD mice declined with time. Mice immunized with Ad-TSHR exhibited the clinicopathological features of human GD and give birth to neonates with thyroid disease at birth.
