Long-Term Outcomes of Birdshot Chorioretinopathy Treated with Corticosteroids: A Case Reports.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 report the progression of patients diagnosed with birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR) initially treated with corticosteroids.
methodsWe included 39 BSCR patients that were followed for ≥1 year. We analyzed their progression under treatment after 1, 3, 6 months, 1 year, and at the end of follow-up. In order to determine the efficiency of initial loading doses, patients were classified into two groups according to their initial treatment: methylprednisolone followed by prednisone (n = 28) and prednisone alone (n = 11).
resultsAt the end of follow-up, 31/39 (79.5%) patients had reached inflammation control. Thirteen out of 28 (46.4%) and 6/11 (54.5%) patients were treated exclusively with corticosteroids, and 18/19 (94.7%) of them had reached inflammation control at the end of follow-up; their mean (range) corticosteroid dose was 3.5 (0-10) mg/day.
conclusionsWe found that the prolonged corticosteroid therapy treatment strategy resulted in inflammation control in half of BSCR patients. This control was maintained with low doses of cortisone, usually <5 mg/day.
