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

We prospectively evaluated 22 consecutive patients (24 eyes) suffering from non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) at a tertiary care centre in Northern India. The mean age was 51.7 years. Visual loss on awakening was noticed only in three (12.5%) eyes. Six (27.3%) patients had headache while three (9.7%) patients had retro-orbital pain at the onset of visual loss. Peripapillary haemorrhages were seen in two (8.3%) eyes. At follow up, only one eye showed improvement in visual acuity. The results of our study suggest that NAION may not always present with the classic clinical picture. Accordingly, a high index of suspicion remains the key to correct diagnosis.
