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

To report the light- and dark-adapted perimetric findings in a patient with multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS). The patient was a 25-year-old Japanese woman who underwent comprehensive ophthalmological examinations including measurements of the visual acuity, dilated ophthalmoscopy, Goldmann kinetic perimetry, electroretinography (ERG), indocyanine green fundus angiography (ICGA), and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Kinetic perimetry was performed under light- and dark-adapted conditions. The patient was diagnosed with MEWDS by the fundus and visual field findings, and the ICGA abnormalities. Light-adapted perimetry showed an enlargement of the blind spot; however, the size of the blind spot was normalized with dark-adaptation. Amplitude of cone ERG was more reduced than that of rod ERG in the affected eye. The OCT images showed multiple disruptions of the ellipsoid and interdigitation zones. These abnormalities were still present 9 months after the onset although the fundus appeared normal. These findings indicate a persistent cone-dominated dysfunction in a patient with MEWDS.
