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 evaluate anterior segment findings in Behçet's disease patients within the ocular involvement inactive period.

methodsOne hundred twenty patients with Behçet uveitis in the inactive period (Behçet's disease group) and 121-age and sex matched healthy subjects (control group) were examined. Anterior segment parameters were assessed by Scheimpflug camera.

resultsIn Behçet's disease group, the mean age was 39.89 ± 10.16 years, and 55.8% of patients were male; in the control group, the mean age was 38.69 ± 14.08 years, and 56.2% of control subjects were male. Pachymetric measurements of corneal apex (523.84 ± 30.36 µ vs 540.73 ± 27.85 µ, p < 0.001) thinnest point (518.70 ± 30.75 µ vs 537 ± 28.66 µ, p < 0.001), mean corneal volume (57.90 ± 3.39 mm

conclusionThe chronic inflammatory process associated with various proinflammatory cytokines, which play a role in the pathogenesis of keratoconus, may also contribute to a decrease in corneal thickness and corneal volume in Behçet's patients with ocular involvement.
