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 our findings in a case of lens fragment-induced uveitis associated with supernormal flicker electroretinograms (ERGs) twenty months after the cataract surgery.

methodsThis is an observational case report. Full-field flicker ERGs were recorded with the RETeval system. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and slit-lamp biomicroscopy were used to assess the uveitis during the follow-up period.

resultsA 70-year-old man, who had undergone cataract surgery 20 months earlier, visited our hospital with a complaint of decreased vision in his right eye. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy revealed corneal edema and a lens fragment was detected in the inferior part of the anterior chamber. OCT showed cystoid macular edema, and flicker ERGs showed a marked increase in the amplitude and a delay in the implicit time in the right eye. These abnormalities of the flicker ERGs improved gradually after the removal of lens fragment and application of topical anti-inflammatory medications.

conclusionOur case of lens-induced uveitis had supernormal flicker ERG amplitudes. Clinicians should be aware that eyes with uveitis can have larger-than-normal ERG amplitudes.
