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

Purpose: To evaluate the characteristics of posterior vitreous cells in patients with uveitis on the classification basis using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods: In this retrospective chart review, all eyes were classified into three groups: infectious uveitis (IFU, n=7), noninfectious granulomatous uveitis (NIGU, n=13), and noninfectious nongranulomatous uveitis (NINGU, n=13). We measured the size, number, and density of vitreous hyperreflective particles in the posterior vitreous area that was defined as the space between the vitreous top and the internal limiting membrane on OCT. The correlations between vitreous haze and vitreous particles were also evaluated. Results: Thirty-three eyes from 23 patients with active posterior uveitis were included. IFU had significantly more particles than NIGU and NINGU ( Conclusion: SD-OCT may be useful for assessing ocular inflammation based on morphological characteristics of vitreous particles on the uveitis classification basis.
