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
Immunoglobulins serve immunomodulatory roles in numerous autoimmune diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlations between serum Ig levels and retinal structural parameters in patients with newly diagnosed acute Vogt‑Koyanagi‑Harada (VKH) disease. A total of 138 participants were enrolled and the foveal thickness (FT), serous retinal detachment (SRD), sensory retinal thickness, central FT (CFT), cube volume (V) and cube average thickness (AT) were assessed by optical coherence tomography. The patients were divided, according to the extent of SRD, into a high‑detachment group (>500 µm) and a low‑detachment group (≤500 µm). Rate‑scattering turbidimetry was performed to measure the Ig levels. The high‑detachment group comprised 51 (36.96%) patients. The proportion of males was significantly greater in the high‑detachment group compared with the low‑detachment group (58.82 vs. 40.23%; P<0.05) and best‑corrected visual acuity was significantly worse in the high‑detachment group compared with the low‑detachment group (P<0.001). The IgE levels in the high‑detachment group were significantly greater compared with the low‑detachment group (P<0.05). FT, SRD, CFT, V and AT were significantly greater in the high‑detachment group compared with the low‑detachment group (P<0.001). The IgE levels were positively associated with SRD, CFT and AT (P<0.05). Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis demonstrated that male sex (B=2.447; P<0.05) and serum IgE levels (B=0.997, P<0.05) may be independent risk factors for severe SRD. The results of the present study demonstrated that males are more likely to develop severe SRD and that serum IgE levels were associated with the extent of detachment. These data suggested that IgE may be involved in the progression of VKH disease.
