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

Objective: Acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) has been associated with several conditions. The aim of this study is to report a surge of AMN cases diagnosed since the easing of epidemic control for COVID-19 in China, in early December 2022. Case Report: Four cases presented with paracentral or central scotomas, or blurred vision soon after SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection. Fundus manifestations were recorded, including typical hyper-reflective segments of the outer plexiform layer (OPL) and outer nuclear layer (ONL), and associated disruption of ellipsoid, interdigitation zones, and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layers on optical coherence tomography (OCT). Oral prednisone was administered and gradually tapered. Slight scotoma persisted with hyper-reflective segments fading and irregularity of outer retina on OCT during the follow-up. Case 4 was lost to follow-up. Conclusion: With the ongoing pandemic and extensive vaccination programs, it is expected that cases of AMN will surge. It is important for ophthalmologists to be aware of the possibility of COVID-19-induced AMN.
