    Graves' ophthalmopathy is an autoimmune condition causing inflammation of orbital tissues and can lead to optic nerve damage.

  • 2

    Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive technique used to visualize retinal microvasculature.

  • 3

    The study aimed to conduct a meta-analysis comparing OCTA parameters in inactive Graves' ophthalmopathy patients to healthy controls.

  • 4

    Six studies met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis, focusing on various OCTA parameters including foveal and parafoveal vessel density.

  • 5

    Statistical analyses were performed using STATA and SPSS, assessing differences in OCTA parameters between inactive GO patients and controls.
