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 investigate the neuro-ophthalmologic characteristics, potential triggers, and treatment responses of visual snow syndrome (VSS) in a Korean population. STUDY

designRetrospective case series.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the data of patients diagnosed with VSS at a tertiary hospital from March 2021 to February 2024. Data on visual and nonvisual symptoms, self-reported events that caused VSS, and medical and psychiatric comorbidities were chart-reviewed. Neuroimaging findings from MRI and

resultsThe sample comprised 27 men and 36 women, with a mean age of 27±11 years (mean±SD) and onset age of 22.4±11 years. Common symptoms included floaters, palinopsia, anxiety, and depression. Fourteen participants attributed VSS onset to specific ophthalmic events (e.g. refractive surgery or ophthalmic examinations with bright-light).

conclusionKorean patients with VSS exhibited clinical features, neuroimaging findings, and treatment responses similar to those reported in Western populations. Ophthalmic procedures, such as refractive surgery and bright-light examinations, may act as potential triggers in susceptible individuals. Although functional imaging, including
