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

purposeTo describe clinical features and the course of a case of non-necrotizing herpetic retinitis secondary to Varicella zoster virus (VZV). MATERIEL AND

methodsA single case report documented with multimodal imaging.

resultsA 52-year-old female patient with a past medical history of diabetes mellitus who presented with painful red right eye (OD). Ophthalmic examination showed perilimbal conjunctival nodule, granulomatous anterior uveitis, sectoral iris atrophy and increased intraocular pressure. Fundus examination in OD revealed posterior multifocal retinitis. Left eye examination was unremarkable. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of aqueous humor sample confirmed the presence of VZV DNA. Systemic antiviral therapy allowed the improvement of intraocular inflammation and disappearance of the retinal non necrotizing retinitis after one year of regular follow-up.

conclusionNon-necrotizing retinitis is an underdiagnosed form of VZV ocular infection.
