Polymerase chain reaction in viral anterior uveitis with secondary glaucoma: Analysis of 28 eyes from a tertiary eye care center in South India.
Article in Taiwan journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo study the role of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in viral anterior uveitis with secondary glaucoma. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study in which aqueous humor from 28 eyes of 23 patients with viral uveitis and secondary glaucoma from 2008 to 2024 was sent for real-time/nested PCR. The clinical features of the patients were analyzed (
resultsThe median age at uveitis onset was 45 years. Secondary open-angle glaucoma was found in 23 out of 28 eyes, 82.1%. The median intraocular pressure (IOP) reduced significantly from baseline, 18.5 to 14 mmHg at the final visit (
conclusionPCR enables timely and accurate detection of virus causing anterior uveitis and helps salvage vision in secondary glaucoma with appropriate antiviral therapy.
