Neuroimaging and clinical features of patients with optic nerve hypoplasia in Taiwan.
Article in Taiwan journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeTo investigate the clinical and neuroradiographic features of Chinese patients with optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH).
methodsThis was a retrospective case series study. The medical records and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of patients diagnosed with ONH from September 2001 to December 2013 in the neuro-ophthalmology clinic of Taipei Veterans General Hospital were reviewed.
resultsA total of eight eyes of five patients with ONH were enrolled in this study (1 male, 4 females). The mean age at diagnosis was 14.5 ± 12.0 years (range 0.25-30 years). Ocular examination revealed approximately half of the eyes had tortuous retinal vessels. In MRI studies, all patients had midline brain abnormalities including ectopic posterior pituitary gland (60%), agenesis of septum pellucidum (20%), and Rathke's cleft cyst (20%). Two patients had endocrinopathies-one suffered from hypopituitarism and the other had hyperprolactinemia. Both of them showed ocular findings of tortuous retinal vessels.
conclusionA high prevalence of midline brain abnormalities was noted in ONH patients of Chinese ethnicity. The presence of tortuous retinal vessels in patients with a midline brain anomaly may indicate the occurrence of endocrinopathy.
