Smoking Is Associated With a Higher Risk of Surgical Intervention for Thyroid Eye Disease in the IRIS Registry.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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 describe the association of smoking status with surgical intervention for thyroid eye disease (TED) at the population-level.
designRetrospective cohort study.
methodsThis study included all adults (aged ≥18 years) with Graves disease in the Intelligent Research in Sight (IRIS) Registry (January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2020). The primary outcome was surgical intervention for TED, stratified into orbital decompression, strabismus surgery, and eyelid recession surgery. The Kaplan-Meier estimated 5-year cumulative probability for each surgical intervention was calculated. Multivariable Cox regression was used to evaluate the association between smoking status and each surgical intervention, adjusting for age, sex, race, ethnicity, and geographic region.
resultsThis study included 87,774 patients. Median age was 59 years (IQR, 48-68 years); 81% were female patients. Current smokers had a greater 5-year cumulative probability of orbital decompression (3.7% vs 1.9%; P < .001), strabismus surgery (4.6% vs 2.2%; P < .001), and eyelid recession (4.1% vs 2.6%; P < .001) compared to never smokers. After adjusting for demographic factors, current smokers were at greater risk for orbital decompression (hazard ratio [HR], 2.1; 95% CI, 1.8-2.4; P < .001), strabismus surgery (HR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.8-2.3; P < .001), and eyelid recession (HR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.5-1.9; P < .001) than never smokers. Former smokers were at higher risk for each type of surgery for TED, albeit at lower levels than current smokers.
conclusionsSmoking was associated with increased risk of surgical intervention for TED in the IRIS Registry. Former smokers were at a lower risk than current smokers, supporting the role of smoking cessation on lowering the burden of surgical disease at the population-level.
