Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07513623 (Systemic and Topical Antiviral Control of Cytomegalovirus Anterior Uveitis), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.

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.

Abstract

Background: To observe and compare the efficacy of 2% ganciclovir eye drops in the treatment of Posner-Schlossman Syndrome relapses with/without cytomegalovirus intraocular reactivation. Methods: A prospective cohort study enrolling 101 patients diagnosed unilateral Posner-Schlossman Syndrome in Eye & ENT hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Thorough ophthalmic examinations were given. Aqueous humor sample was collected from the attacked eye of each patient and all pathogen immunoglobulins tests were performed. All patients were treated with appropriate corticosteroids and intraocular pressure-lowering drugs. 2% ganciclovir eye drops were given to patients whose cytomegalovirus antibody aqueous humor/serum correction ratio >0. Patients were followed up for 2 months. Ocular manifestations and cumulative drug dose were recorded. Results: A cytomegalovirus ratio >0.40 was considered cytomegalovirus reactivation. The reactivation group ( Conclusions: A treatment course of 8-9 weeks' 2% ganciclovir is recommended to relapses both with and without cytomegalovirus intraocular reactivation. Preventive ganciclovir application may benefit patients with historical cytomegalovirus infections. Clinical Trial Registration: www.chictr.org.cn, identifier: ChiCTR1900022340, Date: 2019/04/06.
