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

Acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) is a rare macular disease. We aimed to report the fundus multimodal imaging features of AMN with SARSCoV2 infection. Six consecutive cases of AMN occurred in our hospital from December 2022 to January 2023, all within one week after COVID-19 infection. 6 patients (12 eyes) diagnosed as AMN with SARSCoV2 infection were selected. All 6 patients developed high fever post-SARS-CoV-2 infection, with sudden central/paracentral scotoma appearing 2-4 days later as the main visual symptom. Fundus examination showed normal fundus in 4 eyes and macular foveal reflection loss in 8 eyes. The infrared reflectance imaging demonstrated localized areas of hyporeflection in or around the macula, among them, 7 eyes had hyporeflection lesions located in fovea of macula, and 5 eyes were located on the nasal side of fovea of macula. The fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) revealed no vascular pathology. In all eyes, optical coherence tomography (OCT) shows hyperreflective in the photoreceptor layers, the external limiting membrane, outer nuclear layer up to the outer plexiform layer, and defect involving the ellipsoid and interdigitation zone. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) shows deep capillary plexus (DCP) vascular texture was diffusely sparse in 1 eye; enface imaging shows high reflection in the corresponding area. No difference was observed in imaging features between AMN after SARS-CoV-2 infection and AMN not related to SARS-CoV-2. However, the increasing cases after COVID-19 infection imply that patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection are at greater risk of developing AMN.
