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

purposeTo report a case of an immunocompetent 64-year-old man who developed cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis after using topical difluprednate. OBSERVATIONS: A 64-year-old man with type 2 diabetes developed hemorrhagic retinitis while using topical difluprednate after penetrating keratoplasty. Polymerase chain reaction of the vitreous was positive for CMV DNA. Complete blood count was within normal limits and 4th generation human immunodeficiency virus assay was negative. The retinitis resolved with oral valgancyclovir and intravitreal foscarnet injections. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: CMV retinitis may occur after topical difluprednate in an immunocompetent patient.
