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

abstractSolar retinopathy (SR) is less commonly documented in Sub-Saharan Africa, although it can affect individuals worldwide. We present a case of SR in a young Nigerian patient with mental health issues who experienced visual impairment after prolonged repeated gazing at the sun without protective eyewear. Visual acuities were 6/12 in both eyes, with no improvement with refraction. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the macular showed preservation of the foveal contour but central subfoveal cystic changes with fragmentation of the ellipsoid and interdigitating zones in both eyes; the external limiting membrane was intact in the right but fragmented in the left. The patient is being co-managed with his psychiatrist.
