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

Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) is a condition resulting from thiamine deficiency and has been linked to conditions such as hyperemesis gravidarum, anorexia nervosa, hemodialysis, and chronic alcoholism. The aim of the report is to outline the ocular manifestations of WE. We present the case of a 33-year-old woman, who presented in her second trimester of pregnancy with persistent vomiting, nystagmus, ataxia, global confusion as well as hypotonia, and tremors. She was subsequently diagnosed with WE complicating pregnancy. Ophthalmoscopy showed asymmetric superficial retinal hemorrhages at the peripapillary area in both eyes with associated retinal exudates. On treatment with thiamine supplementation, her systemic condition as well as ocular symptoms resolved. This is a rare case outlining the ocular manifestations of WE. This condition may cause serious, lasting neurologic impairments or death if not properly treated. Only 50% of these pregnancies end in the delivery of healthy offspring. Early diagnosis and treatment of these cases can prevent avertable consequences.
