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

We herein present a case of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) with secondary optic pathway denervation atrophy, which was initially labeled as normal tension glaucoma. However, given the discordant clinical and ophthalmologic findings, brain magnetic resonance imaging was requested which proved PVL to be the underlying process to the patient's decreased visual acuity. In addition to presenting the ophthalmologic findings, we are emphasizing the pivotal role of neuroimaging in ruling out central causes of optic atrophy/hypoplasia and making this clinical distinction by demonstrating optic pathway atrophy associated with PVL.
