Bilateral Parainfectious Optic Neuritis in Young Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Parainfectious optic neuritis arises from infectious aetiology either from pathogen direct invasion or after an infectious disease which can be immunologically mediated demyelination of optic nerve or, from inflammation of optic disc vasculature. We report a case of bilateral optic neuritis in a young patient. A 13-year-old boy presented with painless profound vision loss in both eyes preceded by an episode of fever two weeks prior. Visual acuity in both eyes was a perception of light. Fundoscopy showed a bilateral hyperemic swollen disc. Blood investigations were normal except for C-reactive protein and ESR was elevated. CSF analysis was also normal with no growth of micro-organisms. Both CT scans and MRIs of the brain and orbit showed normal findings. The patient was diagnosed to have parainfectious optic neuritis. He was started on intravenous methylprednisolone for five days followed by a tapering dose of oral prednisolone for a total of one month. His final visual acuity improved to 6/6 in both eyes with a normal optic disc appearance.
