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 the case of a 39-year-old man with bilateral Eales disease.

methodsThe clinical, angiographic, and ultrasonographic evaluations of the patient were thoroughly and specifically carried out.

resultsThe treatment consisted of pars plana vitrectomy and endolaser treatment at the time of surgery to the left eye and laser scatter retinal photocoagulation to the right eye. Postoperatively, the visual acuity improved at 20/ 20 to the left eye.

conclusionsEales disease is a clinical diagnosis of exclusion as many other retinal disorders can mimic it, especially conditions of retinal inflammation or neovascularization. The condition, with a characteristic clinical picture, fluorescein angiographic finding, and natural course, is considered a specific disease entity, easily distinguished from other vasculitides and retinopathies.
