Subretinal Hypopyon in Presumed Tubercular Uveitis: A Report of Two Cases.
Article in Middle East African journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Subretinal hypopyon is an uncommon entity which has been described in ocular infections and inflammations including endophthalmitis, acute retinal necrosis, and sympathetic ophthalmia. The authors report subretinal hypopyon in two cases of presumed tubercular uveitis which responded well to antitubercular therapy (ATT). The first case was a 47-year-old male with bilateral peripapillary chorioretinitis with a subretinal hypopyon. Tuberculosis was confirmed on biopsy of a cervical lymph node which revealed acid-fast bacilli. Case 2 was a 17-year-old male with unilateral involvement in the form of a choroidal granuloma with disc edema and retinitis. In addition, a subretinal hypopyon was evident. Both these cases showed dramatic anatomical improvement with ATT. A novel finding of subretinal hypopyon is described in these cases of presumed ocular tuberculosis. It may be prudent to start empirical ATT early on detection of a subretinal hypopyon along with other manifestations compatible with tubercular etiology.
