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 a childhood case of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) carrying the R92Q variant with a vision-threatening bilateral panuveitis.

methodsCase report and review of the literature.

resultsA 7-year-old boy presented with an active bilateral panuveitis and a macular rash associated with fever. Fundus examination showed two choroidal lesions on the posterior pole of the right eye, and fluorescein angiography revealed early hypofluorescence and late hyperfluorescence of the lesions, which were hyper-autofluorescent. Extensive clinical laboratory analyses ruled out autoimmune diseases and systemic infection. The only remarkable finding was a positive IgG for herpes simplex 1. He underwent two successive diagnostic pars plana vitrectomies as well as cataract and glaucoma surgeries. Genetic analysis revealed a mutation in the TNFRSF1A gene, and the patient was diagnosed with TRAPS-associated bilateral panuveitis. He was treated with adalimumab and has been free of active inflammation since then.

conclusionsWe present here the first case reported of panuveitis in a patient with TRAPS. This finding stresses the increasing importance of genetic analysis in search of autoinflammatory diseases to establish an adequate diagnosis and treatment in cases of uveitis of unknown etiology.
