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

Optic perineuritis is an inflammatory condition that presents with reduced visual acuity and painful eye movement. The presentation of optic perineuritis is similar of optic neuritis which results in delayed diagnosis and management. Up to this date, we found a single case of optic neuritis that presented with transient monocular vision loss (TMVL). No cases of optic perineuritis were associated with TMVL. Here, we report a case of a 30-year-old woman who presented with recurrent attacks of painless vision loss in her left eye, reaching up to 30 attacks per day. Ophthalmological examination was otherwise unremarkable. Lab investigations were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging was done, which showed left optic nerve sheath enhancement suggestive of left-sided focal optic perineuritis. Patient was managed with 1 mg IV methylprednisolone for 3 days. We report this case to shed light on the importance of accurate and early diagnosis of optic perineuritis presenting with TMVL. Prompt management of optic perineuritis is crucial in reducing morbidity and risk of relapse.
