Atypical optic neuritis - a case with a new surprise every visit.
Article in GMS ophthalmology cases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Demyelination is the most common cause of optic neuritis. Typical optic neuritis needs intravenous steroids followed by tapering dose oral steroids. Atypical optic neuritis entails clinical manifestations that deviate from the classic pattern of features. Atypical ON can have devastating visual results if not treated in a timely fashion. Thus, it is critical that cases of atypical optic neuritis are recognized early to initiate proper treatment and preserve vision. Our case presented as an atypical case of optic neuritis. The patient had painless onset and was not responding to steroids, but presentation in the other eye and systemic administration of antivirals helped in management of this case.
