Ocular Lesions Associated with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection.
Article in Medical journal, Armed Forces India, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionThis study was undertaken to document the various ocular manifestations in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected individuals and to correlate such findings with CD4+ T lymphocyte levels in individuals with ocular manifestations.
methodsA total of 150 patients known to be HIV positive referred to a tertiary level army hospital were included in this cross sectional study. All patients underwent complete ophthalmic evaluation. CD4+ count was done only in patients in whom ocular lesions were noted.
resultMost patients (54.66%) were in the 31-40 years age group. Majority of patients (84.66%) were males. Infection was sexually acquired in 91.33% by heterosexual mode. Majority of cases (34%) examined had presented within 12-18 months of being detected positive for HIV. Ocular involvement was present in 76 (50.66%) cases and the commonest ocular lesion encountered was cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in 23 (30.26%) cases. CD4+ count less than 50 cells/µl was consistently associated with ocular manifestations in 36.84% of HIV positive patients.
conclusionThis study showed the whole spectrum of ocular lesions in HIV positive cases from CMV retinitis to adnexal lesions. No case of ocular Kaposi's sarcoma was seen in this study.
