Lisch and the Importance of His Nodules.

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
Neurofibromatosis 1 is the commonest neurocutaneous autosomal dominant disorder with full penetrance, although expression may not be complete by the age of five years. Lisch nodules, however, are predominantly visible in children usually after the age of six years. Therefore, it is important to appreciate that their absence before this age does not pre-empt the diagnosis. A child being treated for hypertension of unknown aetiology with cafe au lait lesions presented to the ophthalmologist with blurred vision. Clinical examination revealed Lisch nodules which confirmed the suspicion of neurofibromatosis 1 as per National Institutes of Health criteria. The aim of this report is to highlight the importance of regular ophthalmic screening, both in suspected and confirmed cases, as these patients have long-term sequelae.
