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

Recurrent painful ophthalmoplegic neuropathy (RPON) is a rare disorder, which typically occurs in children, and causes headaches and unilateral oculomotor palsy. Early high-dose corticosteroid therapy is recommended to rapidly resolve acute episodes. However, the pathophysiology and therapeutic options for this disorder remain to be fully elucidated. We report a case with typical clinical features of RPON successfully treated with beta-blocker eye drop instillation after the effects of high-dose corticosteroid and other therapies were not sufficient. We propose that beta-blocker eye drop instillation should be considered for patients with corticosteroid-resistant RPON.
