Treatment of presumed trematode-induced granulomatous anterior uveitis among children in rural areas of Egypt.

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
purposeThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of systemic antiparasitic medications alone or in combination with surgical aspiration in management of presumed trematode-induced anterior uveitis in children. PATIENTS AND
methodsProspective case series. Children who presented with anterior chamber (AC) granuloma were included in the study. All patients received antiparasitic treatment and after 2 weeks; patients were divided based on their clinical improvement in terms of the baseline granuloma area into two groups: group A (<2.5 mm
resultsThirty eyes of 30 patients were included in the study with a mean age of 13.4 ± 2.42 years. All patients were male. Patients were examined and followed at Mansoura Ophthalmic Center, Mansoura University. Both groups showed statistically significant improvement in VA, AC activity, corneal thickness and granuloma area (p-value < 0.001), which was achieved with medical treatment only in group A. However, in group B granuloma required aspiration and did not recur after that.
conclusionPresumed trematode-induced AC granuloma is common among children living in the rural areas of Egypt. Antiparasitic medication alone was found to be effective for small-sized granulomas. Surgical aspiration is an effective adjuvant procedure to treat large-sized ones.
