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

purposeTo investigate the efficacy and safety of dexamethasone sodium phosphate administered through Visulex system (DSP-Visulex) in treating experimental uveitis.

methodsUveitis was induced in rabbits by subcutaneous injections of complete Freund's adjuvant and an intravitreal injection of H37RA antigen. After induction, the animals of the control group received no treatment and the others received various treatment regimens of DSP-Visulex. Each regimen was different in DSP strength (4%, 8%, and 15%), application time, or treatment frequency. Efficacy and safety of DSP-Visulex were evaluated by ophthalmic observations and histopathological examinations for ocular inflammations and pathology.

resultsThe control group exhibited panuveitis with significant inflammation in the vitreous, choroid, and retina, but less in the conjunctiva, cornea, and anterior chamber. The uveitis occurred within 24 h after induction and persisted throughout the study in the control group. All treatments showed some reduction in inflammation in the vitreous, choroid, and retina. The higher dose regimens generally showed more rapid and higher degree of resolution than the lower dose regimens. The posterior eye tissues of the 15% and 8% DSP-Visulex appeared normal with minimal or no inflammation, whereas the untreated eye and the 4% DSP-Visulex eyes showed minimal response.

conclusionsAll DSP-Visulex regimens suppressed the signs of inflammation and were well tolerated over the course of a 29-day study. The 8% and 15% DSP-Visulex treatment regimens were safe and efficacious for anterior, intermediate, and posterior uveitis. On the other hand, the 4% DSP-Visulex regimen may only be considered for anterior and intermediate uveitis.
