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

Cystoid macular edema (CME) is the most frequent cause of visual deterioration in uveitis patients. Intraocular inflammation disturbs the blood-retina barrier and leads to retinal edema. The basis of successful treatment is the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive therapy of uveitis. Restoration of the blood-retina barrier is mediated by corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. Resorption of extracellular fluid is improved by systemic carboanhydrase inhibitors. Despite aggressive therapy loss of visual acuity is frequent. Therefore, early diagnosis of CME and initiation of treatment, even if visual acuity is not yet impeded, is mandatory.
