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

aimTo describe the clinicopathologic features of pyogenic granuloma (granulation tissue proliferation) extending from the retina.

methodsWe describe 3 patients who underwent enucleation for endophthalmitis. The eyes were processed routinely for histopathologic examination.

resultsAll 3 enucleated eyes contained granulation tissue with reactive vascular channels and intervening stroma infiltrated with inflammatory cells. The vascular channels were arranged in a fan-like configuration and the tissue was classified as representing pyogenic granulomas.

conclusionsPyogenic granulomas (granulation tissue) may emanate from the retina in cases of endophthalmitis. This is distinct from neovascularization that may occur in proliferative diabetic retinopathy, central retinal vein occlusion, or other etiologies.
