Unilateral Focal Retinitis as an Initial Manifestation of Cat-Scratch Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report on a case of focal retinitis as the initial manifestation of cat-scratch disease. A 56-year-old Hispanic woman presented for a routine follow-up examination. A fundus examination of the right eye revealed a white retinal lesion along the inferotemporal artery; this lesion was noted to have progressed after one week of observation. On further inquiry, the patient reported she had seven cats at home, some of which were less than six months old and had recently scratched her. She received empirical treatment for focal retinitis with azithromycin (500 mg daily) and valacyclovir (1 g three times daily), which would cover the most common parasitic, viral, and bacterial etiologies. She was lost to a follow-up examination. However, she continued the same dose of antibiotic and antiviral treatment. Upon her eventual follow-up, three months later, it was noted that the lesion had resolved. The initial work-up revealed that she was positive for
