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

A 51-year-old female sanitation worker in China developed bilateral neuroretinitis due to scrub typhus. Initially diagnosed with 'scrub typhus infected pneumonia', her symptoms subsided within seven days of chloramphenicol treatment. However, two weeks later, she experienced acute bilateral vision loss. Fundoscopy revealed swollen optic discs, exudates, and a small macular pigment epithelial detachment. Diagnosed with scrub typhus-related neuroretinitis, her vision improved after methylprednisolone treatment. This represents the first reported case of such in southern China, suggesting a delayed immune response to scrub typhus. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial for vision prognosis.
