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

A 15-year-old female patient presented with complaints of headache, blurring of vision, and redness of both eyes for 15 days and fever for 20 days. Her best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/40 in both eyes. Anterior segment examination was normal except for subconjunctival haemorrhage in both eyes. Examination of the posterior segment showed disc oedema in both eyes. Her blood investigations revealed platelet count to be 1.5 lakhs per cubic mm, and leucocyte count to be10,700 per cubic mm. CSF culture showed seven cells per microlitre,76% lymphocytes and CSF samples negative for gram stain, acid-fast bacilli, and culture. Further investigation for IgM titre for scrub typhus was positive. She was treated with oral doxycycline. On follow up after three weeks, both the subconjunctival haemorrhage and bilateral disc oedema resolved with BCVA of 20/20 in both eyes. She was kept on follow up and has not presented with any fresh complaints until six months after the initial presentation."
