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: Large amounts of v Observations: A 60-year-old male house painter with bilateral RVO developed a persistent CME. He was treated with triamcinolone acetonide and anti-VEGF intravitreal injections, and later with vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery in both eyes due to a persistent bilateral CME. The CME was partially resolved but the CME recurred immediately after beginning his painting work. Urinary metabolites of paint-related VOCs such as 3-methylhippurate, mandelate, and phenylglyoxylate were very high, with an increase of 2700-7000 % compared with normal values. After resigning from the paint job, the patient's CME improved in both eyes. Conclusions and importance: A CME
