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: To report monozygotic twin 4-year-old boys with chronic bilateral anterior uveitis with simultaneous onset. Observations: Here we report monozygotic twin 4-year-old boys with chronic bilateral anterior uveitis. The boys had simultaneous onset of uveitis and identical features. Evaluation, including whole exome sequencing (WES), failed to reveal a specific causative etiology. Each patient responded well to immune modulation and achieved uveitis remission on methotrexate monotherapy off topical glucocorticoids. Conclusions and Importance: From this case of monozygotic twin boys presenting with chronic uveitis, we conclude that monozygotic twins may warrant evaluation in the setting of idiopathic uveitis, especially in young patients unable to express an adequate history.
