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

backgroundWe report a case of uveal effusion in a nanophthalmic eye after topical use of brimonidine. CASE PRESENTATION: A 42-year-old male patient with nanophthalmos experienced sudden blurred vision in the right eye after using topical brimonidine when picking up tennis balls repeatedly 6 weeks after bilateral YAG peripheral iridotomy. Ocular examination showed wide choroidal and exudative retinal detachment in the temporal and inferior region, involving the macula. Acute uveal effusion in the right, bilateral nanophthalmos was diagnosed. Oral and topical corticosteroids, combined with topical nonsteroids and atropine led to a complete resolution of the uveal effusion after one month.

conclusionThis case suggested a possible causal relationship between the topical use of brimonidine and acute uveal effusion in patients with nanophthalmos. Topical brimonidine should be used with caution in nanophthalmic eyes.
