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

We aimed to investigate the relationship between age and acute-phase optic disc findings in Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON). We examined 27 LHON patients (27 eyes) with the m.11778 G>A mutation within two months of onset, with acute-phase optic disc findings. We analyzed the relationship between age and three key optic disc features: peripapillary telangiectasia, disc hyperemia, and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) swelling. The median age of onset was 37 years (range: 10-68), with 22 males and five females. Peripapillary telangiectasia was observed in 23 eyes (85.2%), disc hyperemia in 21 eyes (77.8%), and RNFL swelling in 16 eyes (53.9%). Patients without RNFL swelling were significantly older than those with RNFL swelling (median age 54 vs. 24.5 years,
