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

purposeTo describe ocular findings in a patient with Type VI Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and make ophthalmologists aware of the potential ophthalmic complications of this particular type of EDS. To briefly report the surgical technique utilized for the repair of spontaneous scleral rupture that may be associated with Type VI Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. OBSERVATIONS: A 36-year-old female visited the Emergency Room due to sudden vision loss, edema, and redness of the right eye consistent with spontaneous scleral rupture secondary to scleral thinning due to Type VI EDS. Repair with scleral patch graft resulted in improvement in visual acuity, a decrease in hyphema, and discomfort resolution. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Spontaneous scleral perforation may occur in patients with Type VI EDS. A scleral patch graft may serve as a viable surgical repair alternative for such patients.
