Ophthalmic manifestation of bilateral ocular toxocariasis: a case-series.
Article in Journal of ophthalmic inflammation and infection, 2026. 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 explore the clinical features of bilateral ocular toxocariasis (OT).
methodsIn this case-series, the ocular characteristics and treatments of the patients diagnosed with bilateral OT from 2015 to 2024 were reviewed and analyzed. The influences of clinical manifestations on prognosis were evaluated.
resultsTen patients aged 21 ± 15 years were included. In all the patients, the onset of the two eyes was asynchronous. The first-affected eyes (FAEs) had worse visual acuity than the second-affected eyes (SAEs) (paired t test, P = 0.024). Peripheral granulomas were observed in 16 eyes (FAE/SAE: 9/7), followed by posterior granulomas in 3 eyes (all FAEs). The peripheral granulomas in FAEs were longer than those in paired SAEs (6.38 ± 1.69 mm versus 5.29 ± 1.77 mm, P = 0.045). Cyclitic membrane, vitreous strand, epiretinal membrane, tractional retinal detachment and ciliary body detachment were observed in 10 (FAE/SAE: 5/5), 6 (FAE/SAE: 3/3), 12 (FAE/SAE: 7/5), 5 (FAE/SAE: 2/3) and 1(FAE) eye at baseline, respectively. The incidences of these lesions didn't vary greatly from baseline to the latest visits except for an increased incidence of tractional retinal detachment (25% to 60%, P = 0.016). Cataract, posterior synechia, band keratopathy and ocular hypertension occurred in 14 (FAE/SAE: 8/6), 9 (FAE/SAE: 6/3), 5 (FAE/SAE: 3/2) and 7 eyes (FAE/SAE: 4/3), respectively. Peripheral granulomas might be correlated with poor visual recovery in this series (Stepwise linear regression, P = 0.003).
conclusionBilateral OT cases tended to have an asynchronous onset and asymmetric severity between the two eyes. Such feature could help to maintain the diagnosis of OT and prompt further test of anti-T. canis antibody for confirmation despite bilateral involvement.
