Ophthalmologic implications to consider when using hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 and induced arthritis.
Article in World journal of experimental medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
As the world continues to grapple with the novel coronavirus [coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)], many treatments have been proposed to help alleviate the symptoms and reduce the mortality rate. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an antimalarial drug that is typically used for several autoimmune, rheumatic, and dermatological conditions. It has also been considered to treat and prevent COVID-19 and subsequent arthritis associated with the infection. This drug is known to cause retinal toxicity, which can lead to vision impairment or loss. While the exact mechanism is not yet fully understood, it is thought to be due to the accumulation of the drug in the retinal pigment epithelium. The risk of toxicity increases with long-term use or with high doses of the drug and is more likely to occur in patients with pre-existing retinal diseases or those who are predisposed to retinal diseases. In this context, several steps can be taken to monitor and minimize the risk of ophthalmological adverse events when using HCQ to treat patients with COVID-19.
