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

Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate the ophthalmic manifestations and management of a series of patients with monkeypox-related keratitis. Case Presentation: Two cases diagnosed with monkeypox-related keratitis were reviewed. The first case was for a young lady who presented to the emergency room with ring shape infiltration after a history of body rash. While the second case was for a child who presented to the emergency room with a picture of viral conjunctivitis along with body rash; then, he developed ring-shaped corneal infiltrate. Both patients were diagnosed through viral PCR and treated successfully with antiviral therapy. Conclusion: Monkeypox-related keratitis is a rare but potentially sight-threatening complication of monkeypox infection. Early recognition and appropriate management are essential in order to minimize the risk of permanent vision loss.
