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.

Abstract

Susac syndrome (SS) is rare microangiopathy of unclear etiology involving arteries of the brain, cochlea, and retina, affecting mainly middle-aged women. The diagnosis of Susac syndrome is based on a clinical evaluation of the signs and symptoms supported by imaging modalities. Immunosuppressants are the first-line treatment. Our patient is a 46-year-old man who was evaluated for right-sided visual loss and bilateral hearing loss. His ophthalmic examination revealed retinal artery occlusion. He showed a good response to rituximab and his vision remained stable. Our case is particularly unique as it shows an incomplete Susac syndrome involving the cochlea and retina only. This paper aims to increase awareness about the disease's symptoms, treatment, and prognosis.
