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

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is a multisystem inflammatory disease that usually presents with bilateral panuveitis. Unilateral manifestations of VKH, albeit rare, have been described. Choroidal neovascularization may occur as a complication during the disease. Reactivation of uveitis may also occur during treatment. A patient with unilateral features of VKH disease presented with two distinct types of choroidal neovascular membranes and two episodes of reactivation of posterior uveitis. He underwent treatment with a combination of systemic steroids/immunosuppressive agents, intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents, and dexamethasone implants with good clinical response.  Patients with VKH disease need to be diagnosed early, treated adequately with a combination of systemic and ocular medication, and followed up diligently for any complication that may arise, to optimize visual acuity.
