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

Visual field defects and other abnormalities are reported in patients receiving the newer antiepileptic Vigabatrin (VGB). Field testing in children younger than 6 years and those with mental retardation is difficult. The authors, therefore, studied ophthalmoscopic abnormalities in seven pediatric patients receiving VGB for median duration of 9 month (range, 3-32 months). Abnormal findings were seen in two (33.3%) in the form of surface wrinkling retinopathy and abnormal macular reflexes. The proportion of abnormal findings was in agreement with previous reports. Thus it is concluded that simple ophthalmoscopy by an ophthalmologist picks up the abnormalities due to ocular toxicity of VGB, and helps in rationalizing further AED therapy in the clinic.
