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

The occurrence of orbital compartment syndrome is a rare and unusual complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Patients will present with symptoms of ocular pain and diplopia and visible signs of proptosis. The condition is considered an ophthalmological emergency because the myositis involving the ocular muscles can cause irrevocable damage to the retina and optic disk, potentially leading to blindness. We report a case of a young African American male who developed orbital myositis with compartment syndrome as his initial manifestation of SLE. The patient underwent an emergent orbital decompression, followed by prompt initiation of immunosuppressant medications. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a case of myositis secondary to SLE complicated by compartment syndrome of the orbit.
