Bilateral Optic Atrophy and Epiretinal Membranes: An Atypical Presentation of Ocular Tuberculosis.
Article in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 15-year-old boy presented himself to the retina clinic with a six-year history of poor vision in both eyes. Ocular symptoms started with deterioration in the vision of both eyes associated with ocular pain. There was no history of antecedent trauma, headaches, seizures, or loss of consciousness. The general and systemic examinations were normal. On ocular examination, the corrected visual acuity was 6/24 and 6/6 in the right and left eyes, respectively. The anterior segment examination was normal except for a relative afferent pupillary defect in the right eye. Examination of the posterior segment revealed bilateral optic atrophy worse in the right eye and cup disc ratios of 0.3 bilaterally. The vessels were within normal limits with epiretinal membranes in both eyes. Yellowish chorioretinal lesions were present temporal to the disc in both eyes. There was a positive history of tuberculosis in the father and brother. A diagnosis of bilateral optic atrophy and epiretinal membranes secondary to presumed ocular tuberculosis was made.
