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 evaluate characteristic imaging findings and functional outcomes of Cilioretinal Artery Occlusion (CLRAO) associated with giant cell arteritis (GCA). Observations: We report the case of a 70-year-old woman presenting with sudden vision loss caused by a GCA-associated-CLRAO in her left eye (LE). A thorough ophthalmologic examination together with optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT-Angiography (OCT-A), fluorescein angiography and fundus autofluorescence were performed. At presentation, the best corrected visual acuity in the LE was 20/200 and funduscopic examination revealed optic disc edema associated with retinal whitening along the area perfused by the CLRA. After 1 month, OCT and OCT-A revealed an improvement of the retinal edema and a partial reduction of the non-perfused areas in the superficial and deep capillary plexuses, as well as in the outer retina and in the choriocapillaris. Fluorescein angiography showed a reduction in the perfusion of the affected area, a delayed perfusion of the temporal sector of the optic disc, as well as areas of choroidal hypoperfusion in the peripheral temporal retina. The patient's visual acuity did not change during the follow up. Conclusion and importance: Despite a partial recanalization of the occluded vasculature being possible after GCA-associated-CLRAO, the patient's visual prognosis remains poor.
