[Diagnostics and differential diagnosis of acute retinal necrosis].
Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Multiple viruses have been identified as causative agents in acute retinal necrosis (ARN). Retinal biopsies, analysis of intraocular antibody synthesis, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have identified varicella zoster virus, herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, and cytomegalovirus. The differential diagnosis of ARN includes atypical ocular toxoplasmosis, some white dot syndromes, and other forms of retinal vasculitides such as Behçet's disease. Because therapeutic intervention varies greatly in these acute situations, identification of the causative agent is essential. Serology is rarely helpful, whereas analysis of aqueous humor or vitreous samples provides clues to the etiology. Aqueous humor antibody testing and PCR have demonstrated excellent diagnostic power with high sensitivity and high specificity. This review is intended to provide an overview of the diagnostics and differential diagnosis of this rare but important disorder.
