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

Background: Uveitis, an inflammatory eye disease, exhibits seasonal patterns, which suggest environmental influences. This study examines the link between average temperature and uveitis outpatient visits, considering air pollution's modifying effects. Methods: We analyzed uveitis outpatient data ( Results: A non-linear relationship exists between temperature and uveitis visits. Lower temperatures increased visits, with peak relative risk at -4°C lagged by 1 day (RR = 1.351, 95%CI: 1.069-1.706). Significant associations were found at lags 0-1 and 12-14, with the highest risk at lag 14 (-4°C, RR = 1.257, 95%CI: 1.113-1.420). Stratified analyses showed stronger associations in males and individuals under 60 years. High humidity and elevated PM Conclusion: Temperature extremes are linked to increased uveitis outpatient visits in Shanghai, particularly with cold temperatures in high-humidity and high-PM
