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

Amiodarone-associated optic neuropathy (AAON) is a controversial diagnosis with possible impact on vital cardiac therapy decisions. This retrospective case series aims for application of distinguishing features of AAON versus non-arteritic ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION): Bilaterality, mode of onset, degree of optic nerve dysfunction, structure of uninvolved disc (unilateral cases), and systemic toxic effects. Applying these criteria to patients with disc swelling under amiodarone, the authors identified four unilateral disc swellings, one with NAION-typical features only and three with one or more NAION-atypical features. All three sequential and six bilateral cases showed one or more NAION-atypical features. The 12 cases highlight the persisting diagnostic dilemma arising from diversity of presentation, lack of plausible pathomechanism, and controversial existence of the entity itself.
