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

Purpose: To describe a case of bilateral retinitis in a patient with endocarditis and a serologically confirmed Q fever. Methods: A single case report documented with multimodal imaging. Results: A 55-year-old patient with culture-negative endocarditis was referred to our department for an ocular examination. His visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Fundus examination showed white retinal infiltrates with few superficial retinal hemorrhages scattered in the posterior pole. There was no staining on fluorescein angiography. Swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) revealed increased inner retinal reflectivity with a focal area of retinal thickening. Laboratory tests showed a high titer of antibodies against Conclusions: Multifocal retinitis is an uncommon presentation of Q fever. The diagnosis should be considered, especially when associated with culture-negative infective endocarditis, highlighting the importance of routine ocular examination.
