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

This is a report of rare cases of full-term infants born with persistent tunica vasculosa lentis (TVL) with no retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and no plus disease. This condition can be mistaken with iris vascular enlargement-associated plus disease, leading to unnecessary laser or intravitreal injections. The cases were treated with close observation, which resulted in complete resolution of the TVL. In conclusion, we encourage the diagnosis of TVL and careful monitoring of such cases before the intervention, as the condition may revert completely.
