The clinical characteristics and prognosis of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy.
Observational study in International ophthalmology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeThis prospective observational case series study aimed to observe the clinical characteristics of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) and its prognosis in Chinese Han patients.
methodsSix eyes of 5 female patients diagnosed with AZOOR were followed up for 4 months to observe the natural disease course. All enrolled subjects underwent a series of ocular examinations at the onset and each return visit, including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), split lamp microscopy, fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), perimetry, multifocal electroretinogram and fundus fluorescein angiography.
resultsOver the follow-up, all enrolled patients recovered on BCVA, perimetry and OCT in different degrees. Among them, one patient recovered completely since the ocular examination results returned to normal.
conclusionAZOOR is a rare ocular disorder in Chinese population. Our results demonstrated that visual functions of enrolled patients significantly improved spontaneously, indicating that Chinese female Han patients with AZOOR have good visual outcomes during the follow-up period without any specific managements.
