Management of presumed trematode-induced granulomatous intermediate uveitis.

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.

Abstract
purposeTo describe the surgical management of presumed trematode-induced granulomatous intermediate uveitis (PTIGIU) not responding to medical treatment in controlling the inflammation.
methodsA prospective, interventional, single-center study in which patients with a history of fresh canal water contact and PTIGIU were enrolled. All patients underwent lensectomy-pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and post-operative control of inflammation, functional and anatomical outcomes were assessed.
resultsFifteen eyes of 12 patients were included in the study with median age of 11.6 ± 4 yrs. Six months following lensectomy-PPV, inflammation was well controlled in all patients. The eyes were divided into two groups: Group A: 10 patients with an attached retina while Group B: 5 patients who were in the cicatricial stage with tractional retinal detachment. All patients in group A had CDVA of 20/40 or better, unlike patients in group B who failed to achieve a CDVA better than 20/70 throughout their follow-up. In group B, final anatomical success was achieved in only 40% with hypotony occurring in 20%.
conclusionPTIGIU is associated with the presence of ciliary body granuloma which, if left untreated, can lead to drastic outcomes. Early lensectomy-PPV represents a viable management option in cases resistant to medical treatment, with a favorable outcome.
