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

This case report describes a 67-year-old male who presented with a 2-month history of painless left eye redness and muffled hearing. Ophthalmologic examination revealed elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and significant conjunctival injection without associated pain or visual disturbance. Blood was observed in Schlemm's canal (SC), and a thorough investigation for elevated episcleral venous pressure (EVP) was performed. Imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cerebral angiogram, was unremarkable. A rheumatologic workup led to the diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). The patient's ocular symptoms improved significantly with systemic steroid treatment. He was subsequently managed with rituximab and avacopan as per standard GPA therapy. This case highlights the importance of considering vasculitis in patients presenting with unexplained elevation of EVP, and painless scleritis, particularly when there are also extraocular complaints.
