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

A 46-year-old uncontrolled diabetic female visited the ophthalmology outpatient department with a sudden onset of drooping of the upper lid and restriction of movements in adduction, depression, and elevation in the right eye, suggestive of third nerve palsy. Initially, it was thought to be due to a vasculogenic cause due to uncontrolled diabetes, but visual fields revealed bitemporal hemianopia, characteristic of a pituitary adenoma. The diagnosis was confirmed by a CT scan. The patient then underwent a trans-nasal endoscopic removal of the pituitary macroadenoma, followed by a partial recovery of vision.
