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.
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
purposeThis study aimed to identify prognostic factors for retinal detachment (RD) and final best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in acute retinal necrosis (ARN) patients using ultrawide-field (UWF) fundus imaging.
methodsThis retrospective study included 29 eyes of 25 patients diagnosed with ARN. Clinical data, including symptom duration before presentation, initial and final BCVA, anterior chamber (AC) cell grade, and vitreous opacity grade, were collected. Based on the UWF fundus imaging, the presence of arterial obliteration and the extent of retinal necrosis were analyzed to identify risk factors for RD by categorizing patients into the RD and no RD groups.
resultsThe mean final BCVA was 0.72 ± 0.77 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), and RD occurred in 20 eyes (70.0%). Final BCVA showed a significant difference between the RD and no RD groups. AC cell grade was significantly associated with both RD development and final BCVA (p = 0.035, p = 0.015, respectively). Arterial obliteration, fan-shaped necrotic lesions, and greater clock hours of retinitis were significantly related to RD development (p = 0.016, p = 0.001, p = 0.018, respectively). The retinitis zone was significantly correlated with final BCVA (p = 0.007). Additionally, BCVA before and at RD diagnosis showed a significant association with final BCVA.
conclusionsUWF imaging is useful for the prognosis prediction in ARN patients. Identifying characteristic UWF findings, such as arterial obliteration and extent of necrosis, can aid in predicting RD risk and visual outcomes, improving clinical management of ARN. KEY MESSAGES: WHAT IS KNOWN : Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a rapidly progressing inflammatory condition characterized by necrotizing retinitis and vasculitis. Retinal detachment (RD) is a common late complication of ARN, often leading to poor visual prognosis. WHAT IS NEW: Ultrawide-field (UWF) imaging is useful for the prognosis prediction of ARN. UWF image analysis identified arterial obliteration, fan-shaped necrotic lesions, and an increased number of clock hours affected by retinitis as significant risk factors for the development of RD in ARN. Additionally, the zone of necrotic retinitis was strongly associated with the final best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in ARN patients.
