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

Bilateral sight threatening macular and optic nerve inflammation may occur with dengue fever, necessitating the use of systemic steroids. We report a case of bilateral dengue maculopathy in an elderly woman managed with targeted intravitreal steroid therapy. A 63-year-old woman presented with acute-onset painless diminution of vision in both eyes following a dengue fever episode. She had bilateral foveal inflammatory lesions, macular oedema, small vessel occlusions at the macula and scattered retinal haemorrhages and cotton-wool spots. Following systemic evaluation, intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection was performed in both eyes at an interval of 3 days. The foveal lesion and macular oedema resolved quickly in both eyes with a normal foveal architecture at the end of 6-week follow-up. The visual acuity improved considerably in both eyes. Inflammatory retinopathy in dengue fever may be managed with a targeted intravitreal steroid injection approach.
