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

backgroundIris mammillation is a rare disease characterized by the distribution of multiple nodules on the iris surface. The course of uveitic glaucoma with iris mammillation has never been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: A 56-year-old woman, who presented with unilateral decreased vision, visited our hospital for treatment of uveitic glaucoma in the right eye. Multiple nodules were scattered over the iris surface in that eye. This case was diagnosed as iris mammillation on clinical findings. After excluding malignant tumors such as melanoma, trabeculectomy was performed. The resected iris had no pathologically malignant findings. The iris nodules evolved to a sand-like appearance, and the intraocular pressure remained stable without recurrent inflammation 7 years after trabeculectomy.

conclusionsIn a case of unilateral uveitic glaucoma with iris mammillation, filtration surgery was performed after excluding the presence of a malignancy, and the long-term postoperative course has been stable.
