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

Ocular manifestations of tuberculosis are non-specific and polymorphic as they can affect all the tunics of the eye and cause severe visual loss in the absence of early and appropriate treatment. We here report 2 casesof pseudotumoral ocular tuberculosis with favorable outcome under antibacillary treatment; the first patient recently had had spontaneous burst of the eyeball with exit of a burgeoning fleshy and suppurative mass measuring 10cm/6cm, the second patient had granuloma of the ciliary body mimicking melanoma; then we here discuss the clinical and therapeutic particularities of this disease.
