Neuroretinitis and chorioretinitis in a cat-scratched young boy: a case report.
Article in Romanian journal of ophthalmology. 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
Neuroretinitis is an inflammatory type of optic nerve damage evidenced by the appearance of papillary edema. It also involves inflammation of the retinal layers, as evidenced by the thickening of these layers and the presence of intra- and subretinal fluid. Chorioretinitis is a condition in which inflammation of the posterior component of the uvea, the choroid, leads to further damage to the retina, causing it to become inflamed. The most common causes of neuroretinitis and chorioretinitis in the pediatric population are represented by infectious etiologies. Most cases of neuroretinitis in children are caused by cat scratch disease, which is typically attributed to the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. We present the case of a 10-year-old child who presented to our service complaining of a sudden decrease in vision and the appearance of a central scotoma two days before he was referred to our service. Our first diagnosis was of optic neuritis, based on the presence of objective papillary edema on fundus examination. Subsequently, the appearance of chorioretinal foci completely changed the diagnosis and treatment in this case.
