Visual prognosis, clinical features, and predisposing factors in non-HIV patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis.
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 4 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 study the characteristics and visual outcome of cytomegalovirus retinitis in patients of a tertiary referral ophthalmology center.
methodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study included 16 patients who presented with CMV retinitis between February 2014 and January 2017. Demographics, clinical signs, course of treatment, and visual and anatomical results were analyzed.
resultsTwenty five eyes of 16 patients were included. Eleven (68.8%) were females. The mean age was 29.37 ± 17.12 (range 11-73) years. Involvement was bilateral in 9 (56.2%) cases. HIV serology was negative in all patients. Best-corrected visual acuity was 0.57 ± 0.55 logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution (LogMAR) at the time of presentation and decreased to 0.69 ± 0.55 LogMAR on final visit (P = 0.332). None of the patients participating in this study was HIV-positive.
conclusionCMV retinitis is a devastating complication in immunosuppressed. The visual acuity usually decreases despite aggressive appropriate treatment. This observation supports the increasing incidence of CMV infection in non-HIV patients.
