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

The results of conservative treatment for central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) vary considerably and although local intraarterial fibrinolysis (LIF) is a promising treatment, outcomes have not been compared in randomized trials. The prospective randomized multicenter study by the European Assessment Group for Lysis in the Eye (EAGLE) is the first clinical trial to compare treatment outcomes of conservative standard treatment (CST) and LIF for acute non-arteritic CRAO. Patients (age 18-75 years) with CRAO present for less than 20 h and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) <0.5 logMAR were randomized to either CST or LIF group. Primary endpoint was BCVA after 1 month and secondary endpoint was safety. Mean BCVA (logMAR) improved significantly in both groups and did not differ between the groups. Because of similar efficacy and the higher rate of adverse events in the LIF group the study was halted after the first interim analysis. Due to the similar outcomes of the two therapies and the higher rate of adverse reactions associated with LIF superselective lysis cannot be recommended for the management of acute CRAO.
