Clinical features of adenoviral conjunctivitis at the early stage of infection.
Article in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
purposeBecause adenoviral conjunctivitis is a contagious disease, prompt and accurate diagnosis in the early stage of infection is necessary to prevent epidemics. We evaluated and compared the clinical features of adenoviral conjunctivitis at the first medical examination with those of nonadenoviral follicular conjunctivitis.
methodsThe clinical features of 102 patients with suspected adenoviral conjunctivitis at the first medical examination were retrospectively reviewed. Human adenovirus (HAdV) DNA in samples from the patients was detected by polymerase chain reaction, and HAdV DNA-positive and HAdV DNA-negative patients were respectively assigned to adenoviral and nonadenoviral follicular conjunctivitis groups. The two groups were compared for bilaterality, intrafamilial infection, multiple subepithelial corneal infiltrates (MSI), preauricular lymphadenopathy, and severity of conjunctivitis.
resultsAdenoviral conjunctivitis and nonadenoviral conjunctivitis were diagnosed in 68 and 34 patients, respectively. Bilaterality, intrafamilial infection, and MSI showed significant intergroup differences. Remarkably, MSI was observed in 42.6% of the patients in the early stage of infection. There were no significant intergroup differences in preauricular lymphadenopathy or severity of conjunctivitis at any stage.
conclusionsTo accurately diagnose adenoviral conjunctivitis in the early stage, bilateral conjunctival conditions, history of intrafamilial infection, and MSI should be checked, even in cases of mild or moderate follicular conjunctivitis.
