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

purposeWe investigated the efficacy and safety of adalimumab (ADA) treatment for chronic recurrent Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) patients with sunset glow fundus (SGF).

methodsMedical records of 50 chronic recurrent VKH patients with SGF who received ADA treatment for more than 6 months were retrospectively reviewed.

resultsThe mean age of chronic recurrent VKH patients with SGF was 55.9 ± 14.4 years, and the male/female ratio was 26/24. Before ADA treatment, the mean daily dose of systemic corticosteroids was 16.5 ± 12.7 mg, and 22 patients (44%) were under immunosuppressors. LogMAR visual acuity (VA), flare counts, subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), indocyanine green angiography scores, and corticosteroid and cyclosporine doses were significantly reduced by ADA treatment at 6 months compared to baseline. Among all parameters, flare count was significantly related to LogMAR VA. LogMAR VA was significantly related to flare counts but not to SFCT nor to ICGA scores. ADA treatment was continued in 94%.

conclusionADA was shown to be effective in achieving remission of chronic recurrent VKH disease with SGF refractory to conventional treatments, and was generally well tolerated with few serious adverse events.
