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

aimTo comprehensively examine the clinical presentations, multimodal images, and long-term follow-up of Chinese patients with acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR), a rare inflammatory disorder.

methodsThis was a retrospective study. A total of 20 patients (32 eyes) were included. The medical records and multimodal imaging, including wide-field fundus photography, wide-field fundus autofluorescence (FAF), and swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) were analyzed.

resultsThe study included 20 patients with a mean age of 38.2±10.9y, and females accounted for 60%. Lesions could involve peripapillary areas, macular region, and peripheral retina. The mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at presentation was 0.38±0.60 logMAR, with no significant difference in visual acuity between acute cases (within 6mo of onset) and chronic cases (beyond 6mo of onset;

conclusionMultimodal imaging plays a crucial role in the follow-up of patients with AZOOR. In chronic cases of AZOOR, the presence of hyperreflective dots above the RPE indicates a higher likelihood of outer retinal involvement in the macular region. This study provides critical insights into the complex presentation and progression of AZOOR.
