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

BACKGROUND AND

aimOcular sarcoidosis is present in 30-60% of all sarcoidosis patients. Our purpose is to increase awareness of the various presentations of ocular sarcoidosis.

methodsShort image-based clinical case report.

resultsWe report on a case of ocular sarcoidosis presenting with unilateral choroidal nodules in a middle-aged man. Sarcoid uveitis is generally bilateral and rather symmetrical. However, choroidal nodules are an exception to this rule, as they generally arise unilaterally. Choroidal nodules are highly responsive to oral corticosteroids. When left untreated, they may evolve to chorioretinal atrophy and secondary choroidal neovascularization.

conclusionsKnowledge of this presentation of ocular sarcoidosis can help clinicians optimize treatment outcomes for patients.
