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

purposeTo analyse the evolution of uveitis diagnosis over a 10-year period, emphasizing the change in etiological diagnosis, and the factors associated with recurrences.

designRetrospective chart review.

methodsA total of 15,000 patients with uveitis presented at our tertiary care institute in North India between 1992 and 2023. Of these,123 patients completed 10-year follow-up and were included in the study. The data of patients was collected on an offline purpose-built uveitis registry portal: Ocular Autoimmune Systemic Inflammatory and Infectious Study(OASIS).

resultsThe study included 123 patients (48.78% males; mean age: 29.11 ± 15.22 years). The most common anatomical and etiological diagnosis at presentation were anterior (49/123,34.96%) and idiopathic(59/123,47.97%) uveitis respectively. At the end of 10 years, anterior uveitis remained the most common anatomical diagnosis (43/123,39.83%) while the most common etiological diagnosis was immune-mediated uveitis (50/123,40.65%). An etiological diagnosis could be established in 50.85% (30/59) of patients initially labelled as idiopathic. Tuberculous uveitis (39/44, 88.63%) and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis associated uveitis (16/49, 32.65%) were the commonest infectious and immune-mediated aetiologies at the 10-year follow-up. Ninety-six (80.67%) patients experienced multiple episodes of ocular inflammation with a mean recurrence rate of 0.386 ± 0.24 recurrences/year. Anterior uveitis (p = 0.01), the change in etiological diagnosis after the first year (p = 0.03), positive HLA-B27 at baseline (p = 0.04), and the diagnosis of a systemic disease prior to the onset of uveitis were associated with higher recurrences rates (p = 0.03).

conclusionOver 10-year of follow-up, half of the uveitis diagnoses evolved from idiopathic to specific infectious or immune-mediated aetiologies. Our results indicate that patients with a high recurrence rate may benefit from re-evaluation to find the definitive cause of uveitis.
