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

To discuss a very rare presentation of lung malignancy which results in visual disturbance as first and only clinical manifestation. Case report. We report a case of otherwise asymptomatic 32-year-old, nonsmoker female presenting with painless loss of vision in the right eye and photophobia in the left eye, owing to secondaries in choroid from lung carcinoma. Patient was worked up after admission in our hospital to ascertain the cause of blindness and subsequently revealed lung malignancy with widespread metastasis involving multiple organ systems. Despite widespread malignant involvement patient was completely asymptomatic and active except for visual disturbances. This case further emphasized the necessity of prompt and priority-based evaluation of patients for lung carcinoma whenever doubtful intraocular lesions are noted, regardless of age or smoking status. It seems that these cases represent a distinct subset of lung malignancy.
