Predictive demographic and clinical features for the development of dysthyroid optic neuropathy in a multi-ethnic TED population: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Thyroid research, 2025. 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
backgroundDysthyroid Optic Neuropathy (DON) is a sight-threatening complication of Thyroid Eye Disease (TED). This study aims to identify the risk and predictive factors for DON in a multi-ethnic TED cohort.
methodsRetrospective, cohort study of consecutive TED patients attending a multidisciplinary service over an 11-year period. Consecutive patients aged over 18 years old with a minimum of 6 months follow-up post-diagnosis of TED were included. We compared those patients with DON and those without (no-DON) to determine which factors were more prevalent in patients with DON.
resultsThere were 26 and 516 consecutive patients with DON and no-DON. The DON prevalence in the cohort was 5.0%. The DON group had a Mean Age at TED Diagnosis (MATD) of 57.8 vs. 46.1 years in the no-DON group. The mean presenting CAS, TRAb and Gorman Diplopia Score (GDS) were significantly higher 3.73 ± 1.80, 2.76 ± 1.05 and 11.31 ± 11.90 vs. 0.54 ± 0.80, 0.48 ± 0.90 and 6.95 ± 9.22 in the DON compared to the no-DON group respectively (p = 0.00, p = 0.00 and p = 0.04). On multivariable regression, we found the following risk factors for developing DON (Odds Ratios): MATD ≥ 53 years (5.2 p = 0.00), presenting CAS ≥ 4 (P = 0.00), presenting GDS ≥ 3 (7.5 p = 0.00), diabetes (5.7 p = 0.00), and baseline TRAb ≥ 5.0 IU/L (2.9 p = 0.04).
conclusionPatients with diabetes, increased MATD, and high presenting CAS, GDS, and TRAb are at increased risk of developing DON in our cohort. Clinicians should be especially vigilant of the risk of sight-threatening complications in TED patients with more than one of the above risk factors.
