Simultaneous mutually exclusive active tubercular posterior uveitis.
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 1 paper.
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
Ocular tuberculosis (TB) is a form of extra-pulmonary TB, which can involve almost any intraocular structure or ocular adnexa. Posterior uveitis, the commonest form of intraocular TB manifests as choroidal tubercles, choroidal tuberculoma, subretinal abscess, neuroretinitis, or serpiginous-like choroiditis. These forms of posterior tubercular lesions can be broadly classified into two groups based on their pathophysiology and morphology. One group of lesions is related to the direct invasion and reactivation of the bacilli in the choroidal tissue, whereas the other is a result of hypersensitivity reaction to the bacilli. Simultaneous bilateral active posterior uveitis with such varying morphology and pathophysiology in either eye of the same patient is an extremely rare presentation. We report a case with pulmonary TB on Anti-tubercular therapy (ATT), who presented to us with two mutually exclusive and distinctly different forms of tubercular posterior uveitis in either eye simultaneously. Both lesions were active at the time of presentation.
