Glymphatic System Dysfunction in Thyroid Eye Disease Associated with Disease Activity and Duration.
Article in Journal of inflammation research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Purpose: To investigate the alterations in the glymphatic system in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) analysis along the perivascular space (ALPS) and to explore the correlation between the glymphatic system and clinical features of TED. Methods: The study included 47 patients with TED, including 20 active TED patients (AP) and 27 inactive TED patients (IP), along with 24 healthy controls (HC). Imaging data including DTI sequence were acquired using a 3.0 Tesla scanner. ALPS values were calculated based on the diffusivity of the bilateral superior corona radiata and superior longitudinal fasciculus. Correlation analysis were thus performed between ALPS values and clinical characteristics. Results: The DTI-ALPS analysis in the TED patient group collectively showed lower mean and left ALPS values compared to the HC, with statistically significant differences observed (mean ALPS: P=0.0308, left ALPS: P=0.0032). Among the TED subgroups, the IP had significantly lower left ALPS values than HC (P=0.006). Correlation analysis within the IP subgroup indicated that lower ALPS values were significantly associated with longer disease duration (P=0.015) and greater palpebral fissure height (P=0.028). Conclusions: Glymphatic system dysfunction is evident in TED patients, with its extent influenced by disease activity and duration.
