Temporal trends in the clinical presentation of Graves' orbitopathy: a single-center retrospective study.
Article in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeGraves' ophthalmopathy (GO) is an autoimmune disease that affects orbital soft tissues and represents the most common extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease (GD). The European Group of Graves' Ophthalmopathy (EUGOGO) has attempted to shed light on the European epidemiological picture of GO, suggesting that GO in newly diagnosed patients in recent years has a trend towards a less severe clinical presentation. There are no studies that focus this issue on the population of our area; we aimed to evaluate the trend of GO clinical presentation in our outpatient clinic through an observation period of 10 years.
methodsWe compared 55 consecutive patients, 11 males (F) and 44 females (M), who came to our observation from January 2005 to December 2006 [Group 1 (G1)], with 56 patients, 15 males, and 41 females, who were referred to us from 2015 to 2016 [Group 2 (G2)]. We studied the following putative predictors of GO presentation and severity: thyroid function, smoking, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, time from GO diagnosis to referral to our thyroid centre (TGOD), sex and age.
resultsGO severity was significantly reduced in G2 vs. G1 (p = 0.04). TGOD ≥ 3 months was related to clinical characteristics of GO (severity and Clinical Activity Score ≥ 4) and was an independent predictor of GO severity (p = 0.01). The other variables evaluated had no independent effects.
conclusionsWe found that GO severity at presentation was significantly reduced over a ten-year observation period (2005-2006 vs. 2015-2016) in GO patients referred to our tertiary thyroid centre. TGOD ≥ 3 months was an independent predictor of GO severity.
