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 neuritis (ON) is the inflammation of the optic nerve. 'Typical' ON is commonly associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) and its classic triad includes sudden loss of vision, pain with eye movement and dyschromatopsia. It usually has good visual outcome irrespective of treatment. Presentation other than this is termed as 'atypical' ON and causes include autoimmune diseases, infections and optic neuropathy related to systemic disorders, etc. These cases of ON need specific treatment depending on the cause. Therefore, it is vital to differentiate 'typical' from 'atypical' ON. Here, we present a case of ON associated with MS, which presented with atypical symptoms i.e. painless loss of vision. Moreover, this patient had a poor final visual outcome, in contrast to the generally good visual prognosis of ON associated with MS.
