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

Purpose: To report the clinical course and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings of ocular angiostrongyliasis. Methods: A 36-year-old female with a history of ingesting regular raw freshwater shrimp and other raw food presented with acute unilateral painless visual loss in the right eye. Her right eye's best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1 ft of the count finger. Fundus examination showed vitritis, generalized retinal pigment epithelial alteration, and a moving roundworm in the vitreous at the 6 o'clock position. Macular OCT of her right eye showed thinning of the retina, loss of the external limiting membrane and ellipsoid zone, subretinal hyper-reflective material clumping, and hyper-reflective foci at the superficial choroidal layer. Results: The patient was administered oral and topical prednisolone. The roundworm, identified as Conclusion: This case report describes an infrequent presentation and illustrates the clinical course and OCT findings of ocular angiostrongyliasis.
