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

Background: Diplopia is a common and clinically important manifestation of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), often related to asymmetric orbital involvement. This study investigated the association between orbital asymmetry degree (OAD), a novel quantitative imaging index derived from Methods: A1:1 matched case-control study was conducted, including 22 matched pairs of patients with TAO with or without diplopia. Patients were matched for sex, age, and smoking history. All participants underwent thyroid function testing, measurement of thyroid-related antibodies, and Results: After adjustment for age, both OAD (OR = 2.084, 95% CI: 1.040-4.174, Conclusions: Inter-orbital inflammatory asymmetry assessed by
