Ocular manifestations of HLA B 27 associated uveitis: a study of 255 cases from a tertiary eye care centre from South India.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo describe the clinical profile of HLA B-27-associated uveitis in Indian population.
methodWe conducted a retrospective review of medical records of 431 eyes of 255 consecutive patients with HLA B-27-associated uveitis, presented to our institute between 2012 and 2017.
resultThe study observed a male preponderance (75.7%) and the mean age of patients was 35.6 ± 13.3 years. A total of 412 (95.3%) eyes had anterior uveitis, 17(3.9%) eyes had anterior and intermediate uveitis and 3 eyes (0.7%) had intermediate uveitis. Retinal vasculitis was detected in four eyes (0.9%). A total of 176 patients (69%) in the study had evidence of systemic disease and 85% patients developed recurrences. In addition to the treatment with topical and oral steroid, immunosuppressive was required in 39.6% patients and 4% patients received biological therapy. The majority of the eyes (78.4%) had a good visual outcome, while 61 (14.2%) eyes had moderate visual impairment and 32 (7.4%) eyes had severe visual impairment at the time of final follow-up.
conclusionHLA-B27-associated uveitis can be associated with higher number of posterior segment involvement than it is estimated and aggressive therapy in moderate-to-severe uveitis can prevent severe visual impairment in these patients.
