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

backgroundSystemic sclerosis is a chronic connective tissue disease in which immune system dysfunction alters the structure and function of blood vessels. It is characterized by enhanced tissue fibrosis, which may rapidly affect a large area of the skin as well as internal organs. Dry eye symptoms are the most common ocular findings. CASE REPORT: This case presents a 51-year-old male patient suffering from blurred vision in the left eye. The ophthalmoscopic examination revealed retinal thrombotic microangiopathy in both eyes. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) showed a macular edema in the left eye. Although these ocular symptoms do not represent the initial manifestation of the primary disease, correct diagnosis was only made in the context of the retinal findings.

conclusionRetinal microangiopathic lesions can play a seminal role in diagnosing systemic sclerosis.
