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 describe a case of a patient who presented with hypertensive retinopathy and was found to have neuroblastoma. OBSERVATIONS: Neuroblastoma has three main ocular presentations. As a primary disease, it can present with a paraneoplastic syndrome in the form of opsoclonus, or it can present as a Horner's syndrome from its effect on the cervical sympathetic ganglia. Metastatic disease can present as a triad of periorbital edema, ecchymosis and proptosis from orbital bone involvement. Hypertension is a rare systemic presentation of neuroblastoma. We report the case of a two-year-old girl whose initial presentation of neuroblastoma was hypertensive retinopathy. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of neuroblastoma presenting as hypertensive retinopathy. Our case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and thorough systemic work up of ocular findings in order to arrive at an appropriate diagnosis.
