Vascular changes of the peripapillary choroidal area in the thyroid orbitopathy.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate the peripapillary choroidal vascular changes in thyroid orbitopathy (TO).
methodsThe study included 20 eyes of 10 patients with active TO (aTO), 30 eyes of 15 patients with inactive TO (inaTO) and 30 eyes of 30 healthy subjects. The peripapillary choroidal vascular change was assessed with peripapillary choroidal vascular index (pCVI), peripapillary choroidal luminal area (pLA), peripapillary choroidal stromal area (pSA), peripapillary total choroidal area (pTCA).
resultsCompared to the control group, there was a reduction in the nasal and temporal areas of pCVI in both the aTO and inaTO groups (aTO vs control: nasal p = 0.001 and temporal p = 0.004; inaTO vs control: nasal p = 0.007 and temporal p < 0.001), while the inferior area was lower only in the inaTO group (p = 0.001). Compared to the other groups, the inaTO group exhibited a decrease pSA (vs aTO: total p = 0.004, inferior p = 0.02 and vs control: total p = 0.01, inferior p = 0.03), pLA (vs aTO: total p = 0.02, inferior p = 0.02, temporal p < 0.001 and vs control: total p = 0.002, inferior p < 0.001, temporal p < 0.001) and pTCA (vs aTO: total p = 0.009, inferior p = 0.01, temporal p < 0.001 and vs control: total p = 0.003, inferior p = 0.001, temporal p < 0.001).
conclusionThe horizontal area (nasal and temporal area) of the peripapillary choroidal vascular structure may be more sensitive than the vertical area in TO patients. The first affected quadrant of RPC-VD in the active TO may be the inferior quadrant. Structural or vascular choroidal changes may occur during the chronic or post-active phase of the disease.
