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

aimTo analyze the clinical signs of multiple sclerosis (MS) and show that optic neuritis is one of the first event, which indicates the development of disease. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe study involved 89 cases in which it confirmed MS at the time of the March 2009-2011. Since ophthalmological parameters were analyzed visual acuity (VA), visual field (VF), and retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness of peripapillary rim by optic coherent tomography (OCT).

resultsTen(10) patients had ON as the first clinical manifestation of the disease which was statistically significant (X(2) =9,7 p=0,01) compared to the manifestation of other clinical signs of disease. In VF, centrocecal scotomas were predominant in 50% of the subjects; the RNFL thinning of the neuroretinal rim was verified in all patients, most often in the upper quadrant. A month after pulse corticosteroid therapy, visual acuity in all patients with ON ranged from 0.6 to 1.0.

conclusionON is one of the first MS clinical manifestation. In VF, the most common disturbances are in the centrocecal area. The RNFL thinning was verified in all patients with OCT.
