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

Non-infectious uveitis mainly affects the working-age population and can contribute to significant social and economic burden. It comprises a heterogeneous group of conditions with varied aetiology. Precise and early diagnosis, excluding masquerade syndromes, is the key to early therapeutic intervention. Treatment should be appropriately selected according to the anatomical sites of inflammation, the diagnosis and known prognosis, and whether there is a systemic inflammatory drive. Corticosteroids in the form of local or systemic therapy form the mainstay of treatment; however, due to unacceptable side effects, the need for long-term use or suboptimal response, corticosteroid-sparing medications may need to be considered early on in the management of non-infectious uveitis. With newer insights into the immunopathology of uveitis and the availability of biologic agents, treatment can be tailored according to individual needs. Many patients have systemic involvement, and hence a multidisciplinary approach is often required to achieve the best outcome in an individual. Patient involvement in the management of non-infectious uveitis, ensuring compliance, and continual monitoring of both the treatment and therapeutic response are the key to achieving optimal outcomes.
