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: We describe a patient with Eisenmenger syndrome and spontaneous hyphema from iris microhemangioma, two rare entities with a plausible pathophysiological connection. Observations: A 56-year-old Caucasian female with a background of cyanotic congenital heart disease complicated by Eisenmenger syndrome presented with non-traumatic hyphema and blurred vision. Multiple vascular tufts consistent with iris microhemangiomas were observed around the pupil margins bilaterally, with no iris or retinal neovascularization. In the affected eye, there was active bleeding from one lesion at 12 o'clock generating a macrohyphema. Additional findings included prominent episcleral injection and retinal venous tortuosity in both eyes. The active microhemorrhage and hyphema resolved with local medical management. Conclusions and importance: Chronic hypoxemia and erythrocytosis are known to induce dilation of the retinal and episcleral blood vessels in Eisenmenger syndrome. Corresponding dilation of iris stromal vessels may contribute to the formation and prominence of iris microhemangiomas.
