Are PHOMS a clinical sign of optic neuritis?
Article in Eye (London, England), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeAssess the prevalence and evolution of PHOMS in optic neuritis.
methodsWe analysed the medical files of 126 patients included in the OCTON cohort. Patients' medical files, digital retinal images and OCT examinations were reviewed, searching for optic nerve head oedema and PHOMS at the initial presentation and during the follow-up.
resultsWe included 102 patients in the final analysis. Twenty-nine (29) eyes had optic nerve head oedema at the initial presentation. PHOMS were found to be present in 8 eyes affected with optic neuritis. All cases of PHOMS were associated with optic nerve head oedema. All the PHOMS decreased in size and disappeared with the improvement of the oedema. DISCUSSION: Our results show that PHOMS is not a common sign of optic neuritis. We didn't observe any case of PHOMS in the absence of optic nerve head oedema in eyes with optic neuritis. PHOMS seem to be a rare sign of optic neuritis associated to optic nerve head oedema, and they tend to disappear with the improvement of the optic nerve head oedema. We suggest that the presence of PHOMS in optic neuritis eyes with no optic nerve oedema should be a considered warning sign.
