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

Normal development of the fovea begins before midgestation and continues for several years after birth. Foveal hypoplasia is a condition in which the foveal pit and the foveal avascular zone do not fully develop. Several diseases are known to be associated with foveal hypoplasia; however, a direct association between foveal hypoplasia and congenital rubella has not been stated so far. This report describes a case of foveal hypoplasia detected during adulthood in a patient with known fetal exposure to maternal rubella infection and several ocular features of congenital rubella syndrome, including microphthalmia, congenital cataract, and pigmentary retinopathy. During follow-up, the visual acuity and ocular fundus changes remained stable.
