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

purposeTo report a case of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) in a 39-year-old woman.

methodsImages were obtained with fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). A multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) was also obtained to evaluate retinal function.

resultsThe patient's right visual acuity was 0.8. Fundus photographs showed no specific abnormal findings. OCT showed attenuation of the photoreceptor inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) line and the cone outer segment tip (COST) line in the right eye. The mfERG showed corresponding amplitude reductions. One month after the initial visit, her right visual acuity improved to 1.2. There was partial recovery of the IS/OS line; however, the COST line was still absent, and there was no apparent improvement in the mfERG responses.

conclusionsOur findings showed a discrepancy between the microstructural findings and visual function during recovery of AZOOR.
