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 evaluate the efficacy of eplerenone in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) patients in a clinical trial design. Methods: In this double-blind clinical trial, naive acute. CSCR patients were divided into two groups: treatment with eplerenone 25 mg daily in the 1 Results: Thirty-one CSCR (male: 23, female: 8) and 25 CSCR patients (male: 18, female: 7) with the mean age of 35.65 ± 5.94 and 37.08 ± 6.41 years were recruited and divided randomly into treatment and placebo groups, respectively. BCVA improved significantly in the treatment group (from 0.28 ± 0.26 to 0.11 ± 0.14, Conclusion: In this study, we found favorable short-term clinical effects of eplerenone in acute CSCR patients, showing the pivotal role of mineralocorticoid receptors in the retina.
