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

purposeWe report a case of an atypical multifocal choroiditis with retinal vasculitis associated with positive West Nile serology.

methodsRetrospective case report.

resultsA healthy 18-year-old man presented with floaters in the left eye that started while backpacking in Wyoming. Examination and testing revealed numerous chorioretinal lesions in the left eye, as well as retinal vasculitis and evidence of branch retinal vein occlusion. Serology was positive for West Nile Virus.

conclusionWest Nile virus may be a trigger for development of multifocal choroiditis in susceptible individuals.
