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

Acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) manifests as the rapid loss of one or multiple large zones of the outer retinal layers, often with a distinct sectoral distribution. Subtle fundus changes, such as pigmentary alterations around the optic nerve, are typically present in the early stages. Disease progression is characterized by the appearance of well-defined atrophic zones involving the outer retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid. AZOOR lesions typically begin in the peripapillary region and then spread centrifugally toward the peripheral fundus. In this case report, we present the clinical and multimodal imaging characteristics of a 63-year-old woman with a symmetrical, peripheral-onset AZOOR variant with a very slow centrifugal progression. Most notably, the posterior pole was unaffected bilaterally.
