Bilateral acute depigmentation of the iris in two siblings simultaneously.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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 first simultaneous onset of bilateral acute depigmentation of the iris (BADI) in two siblings. OBSERVATIONS: Two sisters presented with bilateral ocular pain, redness and light sensitivity. Examination revealed bilateral circulating pigment in the anterior chamber with pigment dusting on backs of the corneas, patchy iris depigmentation and heavy pigment deposition in the angle. Both patients had recently suffered from upper respiratory tract infections. Bilateral visual acuities were preserved and no transillumination defects were observed. The patients were diagnosed with BADI. Both cases were successfully controlled with topical corticosteroids and anti-glaucoma drops as well as topical glanciclovir gel. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: To date, there had been no published reports of BADI in the Middle East and Africa. This is the first observation of this entity in these regions. Moreover it is the first occurrence of BADI in two immediate siblings simultaneously. We also report the rare asymmetrical presentation with BADI in one of our patients. These observations point to the possibility of genetic factors underlying BADI as well as an infectious cause behind the etiology.
