Retinitis & optic neuropathy as a complication of Brucellosis: A case report.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: We describe the clinical and diagnostic features of a patient with ischemic retinitis and optic neuropathy secondary to brucellosis. Observations: A 47 year old Caucasian man presented with acute loss of vision secondary to retinitis affecting the macula and optic neuropathy after recent exposure to wild hogs. Workup revealed positive serology for brucella antibodies. Macular optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography revealed obliterative retinitis in the macula. The patient developed no light perception vision soon after presentation despite treatment with rifampin and doxycycline. Conclusions and Importance: This case highlights a rare, retinal complication of acute brucella infection as well as the importance of clinical suspicion for the disease in those with known risk factors.
