Concurrent Tuberculous Optic Neuritis and Optic Perineuritis in a Patient With Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Concurrent tuberculous optic neuritis (ON) and optic perineuritis (OPN) in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is extremely rare. HIV-induced progressive CD4 depletion is associated with an increased risk of tuberculosis (TB), disseminated TB, and death. Early detection and initiation of anti-TB therapy with corticosteroid commencement helps in achieving better visual outcomes. Interestingly, we report a case of concurrent ON and OPN in a patient with HIV-TB co-infection. A 29-year-old lady, a prisoner, with newly diagnosed treatment-naive HIV, presented with acute-onset reduced vision in the left eye for 10 days. It was associated with pain in eye movement and headache. The patient was known to be a drug abuser since the age of 19 years and was a sexual worker. Her CD4 count was 292 cells/mm
