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

A young patient is described who presented with sudden visual loss in the left eye quickly followed by proliferative retinopathy with retinal detachment and thrombotic glaucoma. He developed similar initial symptoms in the right eye but has now made a complete recovery in that eye on systemic steroids, oral acyclovir, cyclosporin A and colchicine. Pathological examination of the left eye revealed inflammation in the ciliary body, retina and choroid with prominent eosinophils. The nature of the initial insult and the possible role of the eosinophils are discussed.
