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

Topiramate is a sulfamate-substituted monosaccharide used in the treatment of epilepsy and migraines. This case report demonstrates a 29-year-old female who complained of severe bilateral loss of vision 14 days after using topiramate for her migraine. On initial examination, visual acuities were counting fingers in both eyes. Intraocular pressures were 55 mmHg and 58 mmHg in the right and left eyes, respectively. Anterior segment examination showed bilateral conjunctival chemosis, mild corneal edema, and markedly shallow anterior chambers with closed angles on gonioscopy. Ultrasound biomicroscopy revealed bilateral anterior rotation of ciliary body with choroidal effusion. Topiramate was immediately discontinued, topical and systemic anti-glaucomatous treatment was administered. After 1-week follow-up, the patient had fully recovered.
