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

abstractLarge administrative health databases, nationwide surveys, and the widespread adoption of electronic medical records have led to an increasing availability of health-related data on ocular inflammatory disease, allowing us to elucidate the real-world epidemiology of uveitis and examine patient and systems-level risk factors for the incidence of specific etiologies of uveitis and its complications. Despite the many advantages to using big databases, there are also limitations that clinicians must be aware of when making conclusions and extrapolating to the general population, such as the lack of standardization of nomenclature and coding. As the availability of even more robust datasets increases, clinicians and scientists should be prepared to leverage these tools to improve our understanding of disease pathophysiology and our ability to manage patients with ocular inflammatory disease.
