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 broad spectrum of anti-inflammatory drugs with different mechanisms is available for the treatment of intraocular inflammation. Corticosteroids are the mainstay of therapy. Mechanisms of action are quite well understood for most drugs in particular taken from animal research studies. However, pharmacokinetic evidence for treatment of ocular disease is generally limited for the human eye and especially for ocular inflammation. The bioavailability of a particular drug in an inflamed eye is expected to be faster due to a barrier breakdown. Therefore, intraocular level of effective substances should be lowered more rapidly than in a non-inflamed eye due to improved drainage. This article reviews current knowledge firstly about local, regional and systemic anti-inflammatory therapy of uveitis and finally on immuosuppressive systemic therapy.
