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

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) has recently emerged as a significant cause of anterior uveitis (AU) with intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation and corneal endothelial damage. The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term prognostic factors for glaucoma surgery in patients with CMV-AU. In this retrospective cohort study, immunocompetent patients with CMV-AU were included from one academic institution and a uveitis-specialized private clinic between May 2015 and Mar 2024. Upon confirmation of polymerase-chain-reaction results, patients received anti-viral therapy (oral valganciclovir or 2% topical ganciclovir). When intraocular pressure was not controlled, glaucoma surgery (glaucoma filtering surgery or glaucoma drainage device) were performed. Indicators of glaucoma surgery were analyzed using Kaplan-Meir survival analyses and Cox-proportional hazard model. A total of 149 consecutive patients with CMV-AU included with a mean age of 44.5 ± 16.5 years; 65.1% being male. The baseline corneal endothelial cell (EC) density in affected eyes was 2088 ± 695 cells/mm
