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

Uveitis is inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, called the uveal tract. It can be classified by anatomic location of the focus of inflammation inside the eye: intermediate, posterior or pan-uveitis. These types are less common than anterior uveitis (iritis), but more often have underlying aetiologies that require identification. Some aetiologies are infective, while others require systemic immunosuppression. Underlying aetiologies vary in different regions in the world, and so local data is important to guide clinicians. This study describes the aetiology of 255 cases of intermediate, posterior and pan-uveitis in adults. The most common non-infectious causes, after idiopathic, were sarcoid, Birdshot chorioretinopathy, demyelination-related and Behçet's, whereas toxoplasmosis and herpes simplex and zoster related retinitis were the common infectious causes. Neither age nor sex of the patient were related to aetiology.
