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

In this retrospective study, we investigated vascular abnormalities in sarcoidosis using fluorescein gonioangiography (FGA) to detect angle neovascularization (ANV), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and pathological specimens from the aspects of microangiopathy. In 57 sarcoidosis patients, clinical data was reviewed by dividing the cases into three groups (Group I: histologically diagnosed; Group II: positive bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy (BHL); Group III: negative BHL). The FFA, FGA, and pathological examination data in the autopsy eyes and trabeculectomy specimens were investigated. FGA and FFA detected ANV (91%) and nodule-associated abnormalities (87%), respectively. No intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation was observed after continuous topical betamethasone, except in the steroid responder group. Maximum IOP had significant correlation with nodules in the angle (
