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

purposeTo report two cases of ciliochoroidal effusion after the usage of topiramate. CASES: Two middle-aged women experienced sudden onset of acute glaucoma and acquired myopia after taking topiramate. Ultrasound biomicroscopy demonstrated bilateral ciliochoroidal effusion and angle closure. The A-scan ultrasonography revealed shallow anterior chamber and thick lens. After the treatment and drug withdrawal, intraocular pressure, refractive status and angle anatomy returned to normal and there was resolution of ciliochoroidal effusion. During the clinical course, the anterior chamber depth (ACD) increased from 2.02 to 3.30 mm (1.28 mm of changes) OD and from 1.94 to 3.36 mm (1.42 mm of changes) OS. The lens thickness (LT) became thinner from 4.53 to 4.31 mm (0.22 mm of changes) OD and from 4.59 to 4.30 mm (0.29 mm of changes) OS in the first case. In the second case, the ACD increased from 2.33 to 3.07 mm (0.74 mm of changes) OD and from 2.30 to 3.05 mm (0.75 mm of changes) OS. The LT became thinner from 4.42 to 4.27 mm (0.15 mm of changes) OD and from 4.38 to 4.26 mm (0.12 mm of changes) OS. The forward displacement of the lens-iris diaphragm contributed more to the shallowness of the anterior chamber than the thickening of the lens itself (only accounting for 20%).

conclusionTopiramate-induced bilateral acute angle closure glaucoma and myopic shift was due to ciliochoroidal effusion which resulted in thicker lens and shallow anterior chamber. The later was mainly due to anterior displacement of the lens-iris diaphragm.
