Neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of tuberculosis.
Review in Eye (London, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Neuro-ophthalmic features are a known association in tuberculosis, especially common in central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS-TB). They are mostly the result of the visual pathway and/or ocular motor and other cranial nerve involvement. Furthermore, toxic optic neuropathy and paradoxical response to anti-tubercular drugs (ATT) are also not uncommon. The etiopathogenesis is by the complex interplay of various factors like exudates, vasculitis, arachnoiditis, presence of tuberculomas, hydrocephalus, brain infarcts and/or immune-mediated reaction. The entity often poses a diagnostic dilemma for the ophthalmologists/neuro-ophthalmologists and may lead to irreversible vision loss. The presence of neuro-ophthalmic features not only affect the visual outcome but are also predictors of systemic morbidity of the disease. Therefore, understanding and knowledge about this entity are necessary for the comprehensive management of the disease. While various forms of TB including CNS-TB have been well-dealt with in literature, little is discussed specifically about the neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of tuberculosis. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to highlight current understanding of the types of neuro-ophthalmic involvement in tuberculosis, its etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and management.
