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 Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease in a patient with extreme anisometropia. Observations: A 56-year-old woman was referred to our hospital. Her past medical history was significant for amblyopia in the right eye. At the initial visit, decimal best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.03 (Snellen equivalent 5/160) in the right eye and 0.03 (Snellen equivalent 5/160) in the left eye, and axial length was 28.44 mm and 22.36 mm, respectively. Anterior chamber inflammation was seen predominantly in the right eye with fibrin exudates. Swept-source optical coherence tomography demonstrated choroidal thickening and folds predominantly in the left eye. Additionally, serous retinal detachment (SRD) was much more evident in the left eye than in the right eye. Subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT) was 417 μm in the right and over 800 μm in the left eye. Cerebrospinal fluid examination revealed lymphocyte-dominant hypercellularity. Based on these findings, we diagnosed the patient with VKH disease and treated her with a high-dose systemic corticosteroid. One month after the initiation of treatment, SRD in both eyes fully resolved, and SCT decreased to 105 μm in the right and 311 μm in the left eye. Conclusions and Importance: The marked discrepancy in axial length between the right and left eyes might contribute to the different severity of inflammation in VKH disease.
