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

Choroidal caverns (CCs) have been described in association with age-related macular degeneration and pachychoroid disease. However, it is unknown if caverns are found in patients with chronic non-infectious uveitis (NIU). Herein, we evaluated patients with NIU who had optical coherence tomography and indocyanine green angiography for CCs. Clinical and demographic characteristics were extracted from the chart review. Univariate and multivariate mixed-effects logistical models were used to assess the association between clinical and demographic factors and the presence of CCs. One hundred thirty-five patients (251 eyes) met the inclusion criteria: 1 eye had anterior uveitis, 5 had intermediate uveitis, 194 had posterior uveitis, and 51 had panuveitis. The prevalence of CCs was 10%. CCs were only observed in patients with posterior and panuveitis, with a prevalence of 10.8% and 7.8%, respectively. Multifocal choroiditis (MFC) was the type of uveitis where CCs were most frequently observed, with 40% of eyes with MFC having CCs. In addition, male sex (
