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

A young female suffering from chronic kidney disease presented with retinal features suggestive of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Cystoid intraretinal changes were noted at the macula in both eyes on optical coherence tomography. Careful clinical examination and fluorescein angiography revealed disc oedema, macular hard exudates and flower petal leakage in both eyes. A clinical diagnosis of RP with leaking cystoid macular oedema (CMO) because of hypertensive retinopathy was made. Exudation and macular oedema subsided with hypertension control and posterior sub-Tenon steroid injection. Although CMO does not typically leak on fluorescein angiography in RP, this need not always be true. Clinical signs and fluorescein angiography help in the differentiation of macular oedema when more than one aetiology may be responsible.
