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

Objective: This cross-sectional study analyzed the clinical characteristics of newly diagnosed Graves' disease (GD) in children and adolescents to provide clinical evidence for the early diagnosis of GD. Method: From 2013 to 2019, information on children and adolescents with newly diagnosed GD admitted to the Department of Endocrinology, Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, was collected, including clinical features and laboratory tests. The data were summarized and statistically analyzed. Result: This study included 204 cases of newly diagnosed GD, with 158 females and 46 males. The average age at initial diagnosis was 8.9 ± 2.9 years. A total of 132 cases (64.7%) had symptoms before puberty, and 72 cases (35.3%) had symptoms during puberty. Goiter was detected in 193 cases (94.6%). There were 140 cases (68.6%) of exophthalmos, and 21.4% (30/140) were infiltrative. At initial diagnosis, 10 cases (4.9%) reported leukopenia, 18 cases (8.8%) reported neutropenia, and 15 cases (7.4%) reported mild anemia. There was 1 (0.5%) case of thrombocytopenia and 1 (0.5%) case of agranulocytosis. Fifty-four cases (26.5%) had impaired liver function. Conclusion: GD is more common in female children and adolescents. Parents may ignore their children's hypermetabolic symptoms in the early stages of GD. Routine blood and liver function tests are recommended at initial diagnosis to exclude abnormal hemogram and liver function.
