Incidence and changing patterns of uveitis in Central Tokyo.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe patterns of uveitis in Tokyo have recently changed due to advances in examination tools. We aimed to investigate the changes in the patterns of uveitis between 2004-2015 and 2016-2018.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the data of 732 patients who visited the Uveitis Clinic at the University of Tokyo Hospital between January 2016 and December 2018. Background characteristics, laboratory results, and imaging findings were analysed. We compared the incidences of uveitis in 2016-2018 and 2004-2015 to identify changes in the patterns.
resultsThe most frequent diagnoses were sarcoidosis (8.9%), herpetic iridocyclitis (6.7%), intraocular lymphoma (5.5%), Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (4.8%), unclassified acute anterior uveitis (4.6%), Behçet's disease (4.5%), bacterial endophthalmitis (2.9%), and Posner-Schlossman syndrome (2.6%). Suspected sarcoidosis (20.9%) was the most common cause of unclassified uveitis. The incidence of intraocular lymphoma was significantly higher in 2016-2018 than in 2004-2015. Between 2004 and 2018, herpetic iridocyclitis, bacterial endophthalmitis, and juvenile chronic iridocyclitis exhibited an increasing trend, and the incidences of Posner-Schlossman syndrome, unclassified acute anterior uveitis, Behçet's disease, and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease exhibited a decreasing trend.
conclusionThe changing patterns of uveitis were characterised by increases in the incidence of intraocular lymphoma. This may be attributed to recent advances in examination tools, the changes in the referred patient population, and the aging Japanese population.
