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

aimTo investigate the clinical characteristics of idiopathic uveal effusion syndrome (IUES) and to identify effective surgical modalities for its treatment.

methodsThis retrospective analysis included clinical data of 33 eyes from 26 patients with IUES at Beijing Tongren Hospital. Records of eye examinations, ocular ultrasound, ocular ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), and follow-up surgical treatment were reviewed and analyzed.

resultsOf 26 patients, 17 (65.4%) were male and 9 (34.6%) were female. The average age of disease onset was 46.8y (range: 22-64y). Seven patients (26.9%) showed retinal detachment in both eyes at presentation. B-ultrasound showed the presence of retinal detachment in one eye or both eyes. All patients had binocular ciliary leakage and detachment. Eyes with retinal detachment underwent four-quadrantic partial-thickness sclerectomy and sclerostomy. Subretinal fluid resolution was achieved within 6mo. Recurrence was observed in three eyes and was resolved with re-operation.

conclusionOphthalmic ultrasound and UBM, among others, can be helpful in the diagnosis of IUES. Sclerectomy and sclerostomy are surgical modalities that can successfully treat the disease. Some patients may experience recurrence after surgery; reoperation remains safe and effective for them. Long-term follow-up is essential in such settings.
