Etiologies of intermediate uveitis in a tertiary center: an age-oriented medical assessment?
Article in Journal of ophthalmic inflammation and infection, 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
purposeTo analyze the distribution of intermediate uveitis (IU) etiologies by age in order to guide the diagnostic approach.
methodsWe conducted a monocentric retrospective study of 126 adult patients referred to an internal medicine department at a tertiary center with a diagnosis of intermediate uveitis of unknown cause between July 2002 and April 2023.
resultsAmong the 126 patients, most were women (n = 77; 61%), with a median age of 49 [33;62] years; 113 (90%) were Caucasian. Idiopathic IU was the most common etiology across all age groups. In patients under 30 years old (n = 20), idiopathic IU was observed in 10 cases (50%), followed by pars planitis in 7 cases (35%) and multiple sclerosis in 2 cases (10%). In the 30–60-year group (n = 71), idiopathic IU remained the most frequent (n = 34, 48%), followed by sarcoidosis (n = 15, 21%) and lymphoma (n = 5, 7%). Other etiologies included pars planitis (n = 3), multiple sclerosis (n = 3), and infections (n = 2). After 60 years (n = 35), idiopathic IU was again the most prevalent (n = 22, 63%), followed by lymphoma (n = 6, 17%) and sarcoidosis (n = 5, 14%). Infectious diseases were observed in 2 cases.
conclusionsThe etiologic distribution of IU varies with age. Before 30, idiopathic IU, pars planitis, and multiple sclerosis are the most common etiologies. After 30, idiopathic IU, sarcoidosis, and lymphoma become more prevalent, with lymphoma appearing after 45. After 60, lymphoma is more common than sarcoidosis. These findings support the use of an age-stratified diagnostic approach in the evaluation of IU.
