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

Focal reactive nodular gliosis (FRNG) is an extremely rare benign retinal reactive astrocytic tumor that results from the proliferation of well-differentiated glial cells secondary to a variety of retinal conditions. We describe a case of this tumor in a 64-year-old male in association with a chorioretinal scar he has had since childhood. The symptom was sudden painful vision loss. In the clinical examination, iris rubeosis, posterior synechiae, cataract, vitreous haze and a suspected fundus mass were showed. B-scan ultrasonography demonstrated a retinal mass consistent with choroidal melanoma. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a well-circumscribed mass with T1 hyperintensity and T2 hypointensity. Enucleation was performed and histopathologic and immunohistochemical studies confirmed the diagnosis of FRNG.
