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

White-centered, flame-shaped retinal hemorrhages, also known as Roth spots, occur in several diseases, most often in subacute bacterial endocarditis. Other conditions such as leukemia, hypertensive retinopathy, and pre-eclampsia are other causes. Here, we present the case of a 32-year-old female with sickle cell anemia (HbSS) who was treated at the hospital after experiencing a sickle cell crisis. Fundus examination was performed to rule out sickle cell retinopathies, suggesting the presence of Roth spots in the retina which are rarely seen in sickle cell disease.
