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

The purpose of this study was to evaluate patients with activation of toxoplasma retinochoroiditis during pregnancy and ocular findings in newborns. A total of 17 pregnant patients who were clinically and serologically diagnosed with ocular toxoplasmosis were retrospectively reviewed. After birth, ocular findings for all infants were recorded. The mean age of the patients was 29.08 ± 5.71 years. In all cases, activation was present in only one eye. In 13 cases, anterior uveitis was associated with posterior uveitis. Visual acuity in all cases prior to treatment was 0.3 ± 0.21 and increased to 0.55 ± 0.29 after treatment. The mean gestational age of the patients was 19.76 ± 8.71 weeks at the time of hospital admission. No case of toxoplasmic ocular involvement was identified in the infants on postnatal examination. In the case of toxoplasma retinochoroiditis during pregnancy, appropriate treatment and follow-up is very important to protect the newborns and to prevent impaired vision in mothers.
