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

A benign form of multiple sclerosis (BMS) is not easily diagnosed, but changes of the retinal ganglion cell layer-inner plexiform layer (GCL-IPL) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) may be sensitive to the disease. The aim of this study was to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to investigate longitudinal changes of GCL-IPL and RNFL in BMS. Eighteen patients with BMS and 22 healthy control (HC) subjects were included, with a mean follow-up period of 32.1 months in BMS and 34.3 months in HC. Mean disease duration in BMS was 23.3 years, with 14 patients left untreated. Unilateral optic neuritis (ON) was found in eight patients. Non-ON eyes showed thinner GCL-IPL layer in the BMS group relative to HC (
