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

purposeThe aim was to investigate the changes in optic nerve function that may help in the diagnosis of subclinical optic nerve involvement in patients with Behçet's disease (BD) and isolated optic disc (OD) hyperfluorescence in fluorescein angiography (FA). MATERIALS AND

methodsThree groups were formed; BD patients with isolated OD hyperfluorescence in FA, BD patients without ocular involvement (normal FA) and control group. A total of 88 eyes of 45 patients were included. The groups were compared in terms of OCT-RNFL, contrast sensitivity and VEP latency.

resultsWhen the OCT-RNFL values were compared, there was a significant difference between the control group and Behçet's patients with normal FA. Contrast sensitivity values differed significantly among the groups, and the lowest mean contrast sensitivity was observed in the group with OD hyperfluorescence (p < 0.05).

conclusionAs far as we know, this is the first publication that investigates optic nerve function in BD patients with isolated OD hyperfluorescence in FA. Assessment with FA of asymptomatic BD patients with visual complaints and low contrast sensitivity may be helpful at early detection of inflammatory optic neuropathy by close follow-up in patients with OD hyperfluorescence.
