Clinical spectrum, disease course and management outcome of post-fever retinitis cases: experience from a tertiary eye institute in central India.

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 report a series of five cases with retinitis following episodes of febrile illness, its evaluation, management and outcome.
methodRetrospective, consecutive case series of five patients presenting with acute retinitis, following a febrile illness.
resultsThe retinal lesions had a sudden onset with rapid evolution, preceded by a febrile episode within one month of presentation, in all cases. Extensive serology and PCR testing were non-contributory toward identifying the etiology and guiding therapy. Systemic corticosteroid therapy was effective in hastening the resolution of lesions.
conclusionPost-fever retinitis appears to be a distinct clinical form of acute hemorrhagic non-necrotizing retinitis without a uniformly identifiable cause, and some evidence pointing toward a para-infectious etiology secondary to flu-like illnesses. With an unusual morphological presentation and annual seasonal patterns in the endemic areas, it is important to differentiate this entity, from other forms of infectious retinitis, before initiating corticosteroid therapy.
