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

We report two cases of diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN) where multimodal imaging was used to assist in locating the nematode. The first case presented with clusters of migrating choroiditis with a suspicious tiny visualized worm noted on serial fundus photography. The second case had an atypical presentation with extensive exudative retinal detachment and a suspicious coiled worm in the subretinal space noted on optical coherence tomography. Both cases received oral albendazole for six weeks while the first case received additional argon laser photocoagulation to the suspected nematode. Both cases showed resolution of the ocular inflammation upon completion of treatment with no further recurrences. DUSN should be suspected in young and healthy patients with unexplained unilateral inflammatory eye disease with severe loss of vision. This series highlights the challenges faced in identifying the nematode in cases with suspected DUSN.
