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

We present a patient with idiopathic intracranial calcifications with simultaneous involvement of sclera, choroid, optic nerve, and trochlear apparatus. A 70-year-old woman with bilateral decreased vision was referred to our hospital. Ocular examinations revealed sclerochoroidal mass beneath superotemporal vascular arcade in macular area. Orbital CT scan shows bilateral calcification of dural optic nerve sheath and posterior wall of the globe as well as calcification in the trochlear apparatus and brain. Ultrasound showed highly reflective echogenic lesion with shadowing. OCT revealed rolling topography with thinning of the overlying choroid and outer nuclear layer as well as absence of the external limiting membrane and inner segment-outer segment junction. Slight irregular thickening of the retinal pigment epithelium is present. It is the first case of simultaneous bilateral dural optic nerve sheath and sclerochoroidal calcification.
