Chronic Uveitis in Children.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo describe the experience of managing chronic childhood uveitis from a tertiary care center in India.
methodsAll children diagnosed as chronic uveitis between January 2005 and December 2012 and on follow-up in Pediatric Rheumatology Clinic and Uveitis Clinic, were eligible for enrollment. Information regarding demographics, type of uveitis, treatment, complications, and surgical procedures was obtained from clinic records. All the enrolled patients were assessed for outcome prospectively and underwent a detailed ophthalmological examination to document visual acuity, refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP), slit lamp examination, fundus examination, and vitreous haze findings.
resultsSixty-seven children with chronic uveitis were enrolled in the study. Anterior uveitis was the commonest type seen in 45 children. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) was the commonest known etiology and diagnosis of uveitis was made during routine screening in a majority of the JIA patients. No cause could be identified in 43% patients. After a mean follow-up period of 3.95 ± 1.99 y, only 16% eyes were in remission and off therapy. Prolonged oral glucocorticoids were required, besides other immunosuppressants, to control inflammation in 50% patients. Ocular complications were seen in 87% cases with posterior synechiae, band-shaped keratopathy and cataracts being the commonest complications.
conclusionsAmong patients with chronic uveitis, 43% had no identifiable cause. JIA was the commonest known cause. Significant ocular complications were common. Even after a mean follow-up of 3.95 ± 1.99 y, a vast majority continued to need immunosuppression for control of disease activity.
