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

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a complex, multi-system disorder with a well-described underlying genetic etiology. While retinal findings are common in TSC and important in establishing the diagnosis, TSC also has many potential neuro-ophthalmology manifestations. The neuro-ophthalmology manifestations of TSC can have a significant impact on visual function and are sometimes a sign of serious neurological disease. The purpose of this review is to describe the neuro-ophthalmological manifestations of TSC. These manifestations include optic nerve hamartomas, elevated intracranial pressure, cranial nerve palsies, cortical visual impairment, visual field deficits, and ocular toxicity from vigabatrin treatment of infantile spasms. It is important to be aware of potential neuro-ophthalmological manifestations in these patients in order to detect signs of vision- or life-threatening disease and to optimize visual function and quality-of-life.
