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 pituitary adenoma in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and consequent rapid constriction of the visual field in each eye, which is atypical for either of these pathologies. OBSERVATIONS: A 45-year old male, with a long-standing history of RP, presented with rapid vision loss over 3 months. Examination revealed a severe drop in visual acuity and significant progression of concentric visual field constriction in each eye compared to 3 months prior. MRI revealed a pituitary macroadenoma compressing the optic chiasm. The patient underwent endoscopic trans-sphenoidal resection of the tumor and experienced partial recovery of visual acuity but not visual field. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: The visual field deficit in this patient was atypical for pituitary adenoma or optic neuropathy. The pattern was most consistent with RP, but the rate of progression was not. In a patient with chiasmal pathology in the setting of pre-existing retinopathy, visual field progression may not be limited exclusively to the bitemporal regions. Rapid constriction of the visual field in a patient with RP should prompt a work-up for alternative etiologies which includes neuro-imaging.
