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 analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of optic neuritis (ON) in pediatric patients aged <19 years in South Korea. Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study included 127 pediatric patients (median age: 10.3 (IQR: 7.3-14.2) years; female, 62.2%) who experienced ON for the first time between January 2004 and January 2018, with data obtained from five tertiary university-based hospitals in Korea. When ON was bilateral, the worse eye was selected for analysis. The baseline clinical characteristics and prognoses of patients, as well as the associations between these parameters, were analyzed. Results: The baseline clinical characteristics of the patients were as follows: best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) < 20/200, 65.9%; pain on eye movement, 47.2%; optic disc swelling, 66.9%; and bilateral involvement, 41.7%. Among 101 patients who were followed up for ≥6 months, 48 (47.5%), 12 (11.9%), 19 (18.8%), 13 (12.9%), and 9 (8.9%) had been diagnosed with isolated ON, recurrent ON, multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)-related ON, respectively. At the latest visit, 81.9% and 71.1% had achieved BCVA of ≥20/40 and ≥ 20/25, respectively. Only disc swelling at presentation was associated with poor baseline BCVA (coefficient: 0.31, Conclusions: This study demonstrated pediatric ON-related clinical characteristics and visual outcomes in South Korea. Within this cohort, in about 40.6% of patients, ON was associated with other demyelinating diseases, namely, MS, NMOSD, and ADEM.
