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

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report a case of neuroretinitis in a healthy adult with active primary Toxoplasma infection. Methods: This study is a case report. Results: A 27-year-old previously healthy woman presented with sudden-onset blurred vision and a central scotoma in her left eye. Visual acuity in the affected eye was 20/80. Examination revealed dense vitreous exudation, optic disc edema, and macular star formation. OCT demonstrated optic disc elevation, thickening of the retinal nerve fiber layer, and keratitic precipitates along the posterior vitreous interface. A comprehensive laboratory workup was ordered, in which Conclusion: Even in the absence of an immunocompromised state or classic risk factors, toxoplasmosis should be considered a differential diagnosis of neuroretinitis. Early diagnosis and treatment are necessary to prevent permanent vision loss.
