Patterns of uveitis in patients with proven systemic (pulmonary and extrapulmonary) tuberculosis.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 patterns of uveitis in patients with systemic tuberculosis.
methodsRecords of patients presenting at uvea clinic of a tertiary eye care centre were evaluated retrospectively, and 47 cases with proven systemic tuberculosis were analyzed for patterns of uveitis. Tuberculosis had been proven with a combination of radio imaging and detection of acid fast bacilli in body fluids. All patients had been reviewed by a specialist as applicable before diagnosing tuberculosis. These patients had undergone a thorough ocular workup. Pattern of uveitis was the primary outcome measure.
resultsMean age was 35.34 ± 15.56 years. Lung was the commonest systemic focus, seen in nearly 75% of the cases. Anterior uveitis was the most common presentation (48.9%), followed by posterior (25.5%), panuveitis (10.6%) and intermediate uveitis (10.6%). Multifocal serpiginoid choroidopathy (MSC) was seen in only one patient, while granulomatous choroiditis was the commonest type of posterior uveitis.
conclusionsAnterior uveitis is the most frequent type of uveitis seen in patients with proven systemic tuberculosis. Rarity of MSC in such patients indicates possibility of etiologies other than tuberculosis in causing MSC.
