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

introductionRetinal vasoproliférative tumors (VPTs) have been reported as uncommon complications of intermediate Uveitis. CASE DESCRIPTION: A patient consulted for a gradually decreased vision in the right eye (RE). The examination of the RE found a corrected visual acuity at 20/100 with normal eye pressure measured. The anterior segment was deep and quiet and 2+ vitreous haze was found. Funduscopy showed a VPT. Retinal fluorescein angiography of the RE revealed macular cystoid edema also objectified by the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Intermediate Uveitis was considered idiopathic. The patient received a cryoapplication and was put on oral corticosteroid therapy with improvement of visual acuity and a regress of both vitreous inflammation and cystoid macular edema.

conclusionThe association of a VPT with intermediate uveitis represents a real diagnostic and therapeutic challenge and imposes rigorous care and monitoring strategy combining internist and ophthalmologist.
