Uveitis and T cell lymphoma: a rare but notable relationship.

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
Uveitis is an autoimmune disease of the eye that refers to a number of intraocular inflammatory conditions. We identified three rare cases of T cell lymphoma diagnosed following an initial presentation of uveitis. This study summarized the clinical features of these rare cases and evaluated the association between uveitis and lymphoma. We analyzed the etiology of uveitis diagnosed in the Department of Pediatrics and Internal Medicine at our hospital. Five patients were diagnosed with uveitis and lymphoma. We present case reports of three patients who were diagnosed with T cell lymphoma following an initial presentation of uveitis. From January 1985 to June 2013, there were 80 cases of uveitis and 1,900 cases of lymphoma in the Department of Pediatrics and Internal Medicine at our hospital. We found five patients that were diagnosed with uveitis and lymphoma; of these, three had a definite pathologic diagnosis of T cell lymphoma. The odds ratio (OR) was 6.08 (95 % confidence interval [CI] of 1.93-14.94, P = 0.002) for the five patients with uveitis and lymphoma, suggesting a significant association. The OR was 3.67 (95 % CI of 1.16-11.65, P = 0.053) for the three patients with uveitis and T cell lymphoma. Uveitis may be a rare presentation of malignant disease, such as lymphoma. Ophthalmologists and general practitioners should be familiar with the differential diagnosis of uveitis.
