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 case of resolution of retinal arterial aneurysms in a patient of idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms and neuroretinitis (IRVAN) treated with oral steroids.

methodsThis study contains case report and review of literature.

resultsA 16-year-old girl with stage 2 IRVAN was treated with oral steroids alone. Fluorescein angiography confirmed the presence of aneurysms and absence of neovascularization in both eyes. The aneurysms resolved gradually over 4-month follow-up.

conclusionsThis case demonstrates previously unreported reversibility of arterial aneurysms with steroid therapy alone in early stages of IRVAN.
