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

Morning glory syndrome is an uncommon congenital excavated optic disc anomaly that can impair vision and may be associated with ocular and non-ocular abnormalities. It has a characteristic fundoscopic appearance which consists of a large excavated disc with radial vessels and a central turf of glial tissue situated within a funnel shaped excavation of the posterior fundus. It is more common in Caucasians than in blacks. We report a case of this uncommon congenital anomaly of the optic disc in a Nigerian male.
