Epidemiological spectrum of infectious uveitis in the Asia-Pacific.
Review 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 2 papers.
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
Infectious uveitis remains a major cause of global visual morbidity, with significant geographic variability in its epidemiological patterns and clinical presentations. The Asia-Pacific region presents a unique model to study infectious uveitis, due to socioeconomic, environmental, and healthcare diversity within its populations. This narrative review explores the spectrum of infectious uveitides prevalent in the Asia-Pacific region, emphasizing diseases with high endemicity, emerging threats, and those posing notable diagnostic or therapeutic challenges. The review also highlights the critical importance of considering an infectious etiology in the differential diagnosis of uveitis, especially within, or travelers from endemic areas. The associated hosts, transmission vectors, and epidemiology of infectious uveitis, when combined with both the systemic and ocular phenotype can rationalize subsequent investigations and empiric therapy. Highly prevalent causes of infectious uveitis with typical ophthalmic manifestations are diagnosed utilizing consensus diagnostic criteria. However, regionally endemic and emerging diseases frequently present with overlapping clinical features, and their recognition requires the integration of epidemiologic insight with targeted diagnostics. Rare and novel uveitides are also addressed. Molecular diagnostics have transformed pathogen detection but remain inaccessible in many low-resource settings which may contribute to under-reporting. There has been increasing global and regional epidemiological surveillance of infection and seropositivity in both humans and reservoir hosts in the contemporary literature. However, interventional studies for the management of ophthalmic disease remain limited. This review underscores the evolving epidemiology of infectious uveitis in the Asia-Pacific and provides a comprehensive reference to inform clinical suspicion, directed diagnostic investigation, and public health planning.
