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 describe two cases of retinal artery occlusion followed by contralateral amaurosis fugax associated with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA, formerly known as Churg-Strauss syndrome). OBSERVATIONS: Case 1 is a 57 year-old male who presented with transient vision loss in the right eye two weeks after a cilioretinal artery occlusion in the left eye. Evaluation eventually led to a diagnosis of EGPA. The patient was treated with high-dose steroids followed by systemic immunomodulatory therapy. Vision in the right eye recovered to 20/20 with no further episodes of vision loss. Case 2 is a 55 year-old male with a known diagnosis of EGPA who presented with transient vision loss in the right eye four weeks after a central retinal artery occlusion of the left eye. This patient also successfully recovered vision in the right eye after treatment with high-dose steroids following a change in his systemic immunomodulatory therapy. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: While ANCA-vasculitides are an uncommon cause of retinal artery occlusion and amaurosis fugax, it is important that they remain in the differential diagnosis, as good visual outcomes can be achieved with prompt initiation of appropriate therapies.
