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 65-year-old male patient presented to the ED complaining of blurred vision in the left eye for the last three days. The patient had just recovered from COVID-19 infection and had a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test two days after the initiation of symptoms. His family and medical history were clear. Ophthalmological examination and imaging revealed branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) with macular edema in the left eye, while the right eye was normal. The visual acuity was 6/6 in the right eye and 6/36 in the left eye. Laboratory tests, as well as the full cardiovascular and thrombophilia evaluation, were normal. Since the patient did not have known risk factors for BRVO, we hypothesize that it was related to COVID-19 infection. However, the causality between the two entities remains under investigation.
