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: syndrome of acquired hyperopia with choroidal folds is a rare syndrome characterized by flattening of the posterior pole with subsequent hyperopization of the eye and a creation of a space between the optic nerve and its sheath. Though uncommon and more often benign, it represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Correct diagnosis is helpful to exclude other possible causes of choroidal folds. Observations: here we report a case of a 39-year-old woman who presented with sudden monolateral hyperopia and choroidal folds in the affected eye. Conclusions and Importance: we performed a specific assessment of the thickness of choroid with the purpose to give further information for the understanding of the underlying condition. To date, the aspect and the thickness of the choroid in this condition, has not been evaluated yet.
