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

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease that causes multi-system damage. It is rarely associated with angle-closure glaucoma, especially in pediatric patients. We herein report a case of unilateral chronic angle-closure glaucoma in a patient with NF1. A 5-year-old girl with a large subcutaneous soft mass and multiple scattered coffee-milk spots presented with low vision, increased intraocular pressure, and angle closure in her right eye. Lisch nodules were seen in both eyes. In her right eye, ectropion uveae was observed at the top and bottom margins of the pupil. Magnetic resonance imaging of the skull and orbit revealed no abnormalities. Finally, trabeculectomy was performed on the right eye, after which the right eye showed a stable intraocular pressure. NF1 combined with angle-closure glaucoma is rare and easily missed in the clinical setting. Early diagnosis and treatment may achieve good results.
