Correlation of vascular endothelial growth factor with the clinical regression of tubercular granuloma.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Tubercular granulomas are a common manifestation of intraocular tuberculosis. These are said to be hypoxic granulomas with increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Management of these granulomas includes a combination of antitubercular therapy (ATT) and oral corticosteroids. We report a case of tubercular granuloma with exudative retinal detachment which was treated with weekly intravitreal anti-VEGF and antibiotic injections along with ATT and corticosteroids. The VEGF levels measured paralleled with the clinical regression of the granuloma.
