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

purposeTo study the degree of morphological and functional changes in thyroid-associated ophthalmology (TAO) patients using optical coherence tomography and electrophysiological studies and investigate their clinical correlation.

methodsA cross-sectional study including 40 patients with TAO and a control group with age- and sex-matched healthy subjects. All subjects underwent a complete ophthalmological examination, proptosis evaluation, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and electrophysiological tests (pattern and multifocal electroretinograms, and visual evoked potentials).

resultsOn multiple regression analysis, the degree of proptosis and P50 amplitude were the most important predictors of central foveal thickness (CFT) (β =  -  0.56 and 0.39 and p = 0.03 and 0.01, respectively); while duration of the disease, and clinical activity score (CAS) were the most important predictors of average RNFL thickness (β = 0.67 and  - 0.81 and p = 0.004 and  <  0.001, respectively).

conclusionIn the absence of fundus changes, macular thinning along with functional alterations noticed by pattern and multifocal electroretinogram could indicate presence of subclinical retinopathy in TAO cases.
