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

Prepapillary vascular loops are rare congenital vascular abnormalities of the retinal vasculature. This mostly benign condition can sometimes cause complications such as branch retinal artery occlusion and vitreous haemorrhage. Disc collaterals, neovascularisation of the optic disc, idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms and neuroretinitis (IRVAN) syndrome and Wyburn Mason syndrome should be kept in mind for the vascular differential diagnosis. In addition, when the loops present bilaterally and settle into the region adjacent to the optic disc border, they can be misdiagnosed as papilloedema. The diagnosis is usually made clinically by careful fundus examination. Optical coherence tomography and fundus fluorescein angiography might serve as ancillary tools for the diagnosis. In this report, we present a 52-year-old male with bilateral prepapillary arterial loops referred to our clinic with a preliminary diagnosis of papilloedema.
