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

Amiodarone, a highly effective yet lipophilic antiarrhythmic drug with prolonged half-life, is associated with systemic and ocular complications. While keratopathy being the most prevalent, affecting 70-100% of long-term users, amiodarone-associated optic neuropathy (AAON), though rare (incidence: 0.36-2%), can induce diverse visual impairments, ranging from mild deficits to profound vision loss. Given that patients on amiodarone frequently possess the risk factors of vascular diseases, it is essential to differentiate the diagnosis of AAON from non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION). This study reports a 61-year-old man who developed both corneal deposition and optic neuropathy during systemic amiodarone therapy. We further analyze the clinical features of keratopathy and optic neuropathy caused by amiodarone through a comprehensive literature review, aiming to enhance diagnostic recognition and management strategies.
