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: We report a case of systemic sclerosis-associated paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) in a young woman who subsequently developed branch retinal artery occlusion. Observations: A 22-year-old woman presented with a paracentral scotoma. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed bilateral paracentral acute middle maculopathy. Upon systemic examination, she was diagnosed with systemic sclerosis (SSc). She subsequently developed branch retinal artery occlusion despite vasodilator medications. After the prescription of aspirin, she did not experience a new event for one year. Conclusion and importance: This case illustrates that SSc may affect the retinal vascular system and vision and cause PAMM. The optimal prophylaxis for patients with recurrent retinal events should be investigated in future studies.
