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

Horner's syndrome (HS) is caused by a damage to the oculosympathetic pathway. HS may be congenital, but it is usually acquired and may reveal a life-threatening condition. According to the anatomic location of the underlying pathologic process, HS is classified as central, pre- or postganglionic, when the lesion affects the first, second or third-order neuron, respectively. Pharmacological testing, if available, can be used to differentiate HS from « pseudo-HS » in patients with mild symptoms. Given the financial burden that imaging of the entire oculosympathetic pathway represents, a targeted imaging approach is advised. Although in the majority of cases, clinical examination may predict etiology, in other cases pharmacological testing can help in the localization process. We searched PubMed data base for papers published before December 2022 that concerned Horner's syndrome, its neuro-ophthalmological manifestations and diagnosis. In this article, we describe the main neuro-ophthalmological manifestations of the three types of HS, the most common etiologies, and a targeted diagnostic strategy in each type.
