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

Optic neuritis is one of the diagnostic criteria for Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD). However, the presentation of other ophthalmic manifestations in a patient with NMOSD is less common. A case of intermediate uveitis in a patient with anti-aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4) positivity is detailed in this report. We present here a case of a 17-year-old Southeast Asian woman who presented with segmental fullness of the optic disc margin, small hypopigmented lesion along inferior temporal arcade, trace vitreous cells and inferior snowballs consistent with unilateral intermediate uveitis. The patient subsequently presented with an episode of optic neuritis of the same eye, resulting in diagnostic workup conforming NMOSD including neuroimaging and AQP4 antibody. Our case report highlights that NMOSD should be considered in the differential for intermediate uveitis. Furthermore, the sequence of both intermediate uveitis and optic neuritis in our patient demonstrates the importance of continued ophthalmic exams in patients with NMOSD.
