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

Purpose: To demonstrate the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and MOG antibody associated optic neuritis. Observations: A 35-year-old Thai woman presented with acute blurred vision of her left eye with pain on eye movement for six days and had dry cough for one week before the onset of visual loss. Her visual acuity was 20/32 in the right eye and counting fingers with a RAPD in the left eye. She had bilateral disc swelling, more prominent on the left eye. A CT scan of the brain and orbits showed swollen optic nerve sheath complex both eyes. Serology test was positive for serum anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody. Her nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 PCR was also positive. The diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 associated MOG antibody optic neuritis was made. Conclusions and importance: This case of MOG antibody associated optic neuritis after COVID-19 infection, along with several other cases reported in the literature, suggests that there may be an association between COVID-19 infection and MOG antibody-associated disease. However, larger case-controlled studies are required to confirm this association.
