Cytomegalovirus endotheliitis with recurrent anterior uveitis and secondary glaucoma misdiagnosed as HLA-B27 uveitis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
A 61-year-old male patient presented with decreased vision and recurrent redness in his right eye since the past 4 years. He had been diagnosed elsewhere as HLA-B27 positive anterior uveitis and was on oral methotrexate and topical corticosteroids for recurrent disease. He was on maximal medical therapy for glaucoma. Examination showed prominent inferior corneal oedema with pigmented keratic precipitates and elevated intraocular pressure. He underwent combined trabeculectomy with mitomycin C and cataract surgery. The aqueous sample tested positive for cytomegalovirus. He responded well to oral valganciclovir with resolution of uveitis, the intraocular pressure was well controlled and the corneal oedema resolved completely.
