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

Introduction: To report an unusual epiretinal proliferation (EP) case in tubercular serpiginous-like choroiditis. Case Presentation: A 30-year-old female patient with a history of uveitis presented with blurry vision and floaters for 5 days. The visual acuities of the right and left eyes were 7/10 and 9/10, respectively. A slit lamp examination of the right eye showed moderate anterior uveitis with anterior chamber cells of 2+ and 1+ cells in the anterior vitreous. The left eye showed a posterior synechia at the inferior half of the pupil but no cells in the anterior chamber. Mild vitritis was observed in both eyes. A fundus examination revealed two atrophic punch-out lesions in the right eye and multiple pigmented chorioretinal scar-like lesions in the left eye. OCT showed cystoid macular edema in the right eye and a wide epiretinal proliferative membrane in the left eye. The immunocompetent patient had a family history of tuberculosis (TB) infection. The tuberculin skin test resulted in a ≥ 20-mm induration, and the QuantiFERON-TB Gold test was positive. The patient was started on topical and oral steroids. Additionally, anti-TB treatment was added, leading to a favorable outcome. Following treatment, signs of panuveitis showed resolution, and there was an improvement in vision symptoms. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this may represent one of the first reported cases of EP associated with tubercular serpiginous-like choroiditis.
