Tuberculosis-Related Neuroretinitis and Central Retinal Vein Occlusion in a Child, and a Literature Review.
Article in Case reports in 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
Introduction: Ocular tuberculosis (OTB) can occur in any part of the eye. We present a rare case of an 11-year-old girl with tuberculosis-related neuroretinitis and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Case Presentation: The patient presented due to vision loss in the right eye. An examination detected edema of the optic disc with peripapillary and scattered retinal hemorrhages around the tortuous and dilated retinal veins in the right eye. Optical coherence tomography showed macular edema and subretinal fluid in the right eye. Fundus fluorescein angiography indicated hyper-fluorescence staining of the optic disc and tortuous and dilated retinal veins with wall staining and minor leakage in the right eye. Tuberculin skin test and interferon-gamma release assay were positive. The patient's vision was improved after anti-tuberculosis and systemic glucocorticoid therapy. A literature search found reports on only 5 adult patients with a similar presentation. Conclusion: Tuberculosis-related neuroretinitis and CRVO in children are rare. Early diagnosis and treatment can somewhat restore the lost vision.
