Predictors of visual outcome in post-fever retinitis: a retrospective analysis.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 identify the predictors of final visual outcome in cases with post-fever retinitis (PFR).
methodsThis is a retrospective study of cases with diagnosis of post-fever retinitis. Colour fundus photograph and optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters at presentation and final visit were analysed. Various factors at presentation [age, systemic illness, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), area of retinitis and hard exudates, OCT parameters], at final visit (OCT parameters) and the treatment modalities used were correlated with BCVA at final visit.
resultsTwenty-four eyes of 16 patients with PFR were included in the study. Median BCVA at presentation was 6/60 and at final visit was 6/9. By multiple linear regression after adjusting for other variables, for every 1 unit increase in height of subretinal fluid (SRF) at fovea at presentation, the value of final BCVA decreased by 0.001 unit. For every 1 unit increase in extent of ellipsoid zone (EZ) loss and subfoveal deposit height, the value of final BCVA decreased by 0.0001 unit and 0.004 unit, respectively. The baseline OCT parameters that had negative correlation with final BCVA included central macular thickness (r: - 0.5182, p: 0.02), maximum SRF height (r: - 0.5539, p < 0.01) and SRF height at fovea (r: - 0.582, p < 0.01). The OCT parameters at final visit which had a negative correlation with final BCVA included disorganisation of retinal inner layers (DRIL) within 1000 microns from centre of fovea (r: - 0.6494, p < 0.01), height of subfoveal deposit (r: - 0.7627, p < 0.01), horizontal extent of subfoveal deposit (r: - 0.6695, p < 0.01) and extent of EZ loss (r: - 0.8216, p < 0.01).
conclusionHeight of SRF at presentation, extent of EZ loss and subfoveal deposit height at final visit were associated with poor final BCVA in PFR.
