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

Ophthalmic and MRI evaluations of a 13-year-old boy who reported loss of visual acuity in his right eye demonstrated the presence of unilateral optic neuritis. After serological tests showed positivity for anti-aquaporin 4 antibody, he was diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder. Encephalopathy and myelitis were not observed. Since his unilateral optic neuritis was considered to reflect mild disease activity, only follow-up observations were performed. Visual acuity and central scotoma improved 1 week after the first examination. In the absence of any specific treatments, good visual acuity has remained for 20 months, with no relapse of optic neuritis.
