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

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is a multisystem autoimmune disorder characterized by an inflammatory response targeting melanocyte-associated antigens in tissues such as the uveal tract, inner ear, meninges, and the skin. The classic presentation is bilateral pan-uveitis (choroiditis and multifocal serous retinal detachment) in association with extra-ocular features such signs of meningeal irritation (headache, neck stiffens), auditory signs (tinnitus, hearing loss), and skin changes (poliosis, vitiligo). This is a case of an incomplete form of VKH presenting predominantly with bilateral disc edema. The patient was erroneously diagnosed as having idiopathic intracranial hypertension at first based on a high CSF opening pressure on lumbar puncture and normal MRI/MRV of the brain. However, atypical features in the case such as mild anterior uveitis and the persistence of headache and auditory signs led to further work up and to the diagnosis of incomplete VKH with bilateral disc edema.
