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

Lupus can affect vision in various ways, commonly due to vasculitic retinopathy, and can also result from ischemic optic neuropathy secondary to antiphospholipid syndrome. Anaemic retinopathy is most likely to occur in patients with severe anaemia or associated with thrombocytopenia. Causes of decreased visual acuity in anaemia include haemorrhages involving the macula, macular oedema, optic disc oedema and ischemic optic neuropathy. We herein describe an unusual cause of loss of vision in a lupus patient associated with severe anaemia and thrombocytopenia. Ocular examination was suggestive of anaemic retinopathy. Her vision improved with concomitant resolution of retinal findings in 1 month after treatment for lupus with anaemia correction. Hence, even though vision loss in lupus is dreadful, retinal changes in fundus examination should be carefully looked at to rule out anaemic retinopathy, as it is almost always reversible with correction of anaemia unlike lupus retinopathy.
