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

The purpose of this article is to report a case of bilateral foveal hypoplasia in an eight-year-old girl who presented to the ophthalmology department due to poor vision in both eyes. Clinical examination revealed bilateral nystagmus, decreased vision, as well as iris transillumination. Dilated fundus examination indicated the absence of light reflex around the foveal area and optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging exhibited the absence of the fovea centralis depression. These findings, in addition to the patient's light-colored hair and skin complexion, raised suspicion for albinism. The patient was referred for genetic testing and the results confirmed the diagnosis of tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism (OCA2).
