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 determine the prevalence and identify risk factors of ocular complications in patients with uveitis. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed of 340 consecutive patients with a first episode of active uveitis from January 2015 to December 2019. Demographic and clinical data, including ocular complications were analyzed. Results: The mean age of the cohort was 47 years. Among them, 75 patients were HIV-positive (74% male), and 265 were HIV-negative (53% male). An Infectious etiology was identified in 52% of cases. Ocular complications, developed in 151 patients (44%), with their type strongly correlate to the anatomical location of uveitis. Multivariate analysis revealed chronic inflammation (risk ratio [RR]=18.9; 95% confidence interval [CI] 6.1-58.8), recurrent inflammation (RR=20.4; 95%; CI 6.5-64.3), and poor visual acuity (VA) at presentation (RR=3.6; 95% CI 1.4-9.2) as significant risk factors for complications. Conclusion: Nearly half of the patients with uveitis developed ocular complications, highlighting the importance of identifying risk factors. Understanding the relationship between the location of inflammation and specific complication patterns is essential for early detection and targeted prevention strategies.
