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

Purpose: To describe a case of vitreoretinal lymphoma with unilateral vascular involvement. Observations: A 80-year-old male with recurrent amaurosis fugax (AF) in the left eye was seen in the ophthalmological department. During a period of seven months the patient developed central vein occlusion (CRVO) and later the panuveitis suspected to be acute retinal necrosis (ARN) before being diagnosed with vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL). The patient preferred enucleation as treatment which allowed thorough histological examination revealing Epstein Barr virus-associated vitreoretinal lymphoma. Conclusions and importance: Vascular involvement with AF and CRVO is yet to be described in relation to VRL. This case-study underlines the critical importance of considering VRL when the clinical course deviates from the expected.
