Real-time polymerase chain reaction in recurrent cytomegalovirus anterior uveitis.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2019. 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
purposeCytomegalovirus (CMV) has been reported to cause anterior uveitis in the immunocompetent people. Recurrence of this viral uveitis poses a mangement dilemma. With real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR), it is possible to confirm the clinical diagnosis. We report a case of recurrent CMV anterior uveitis documented by real-time PCR. OBSERVATIONS: A 42 year old man developed PCR proven CMV anterior uveitis. It resolved with oral and topical antivirals but recurred after ten months. The recurrence was controlled by restarting the oral antivirals. Real-time PCR was used to sequentially document the inital infection, the subsequent resolution and the recurrence of the infection. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Real-time PCR is a useful tool in the management of CMV anterior uveitis.
