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

This report describes an 11-year-old girl who presented with a 6-month history of decreased visual acuity in the left eye without ocular pain or redness. She had a history of exposure to cats and dogs. Initial ophthalmic examination showed dense vitreous inflammatory opacities and diffuse fibroproliferative traction involving the posterior pole, but no typical granulomatous lesion was visible before surgery. The patient underwent 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peeling, and periocular triamcinolone acetonide (40 mg) was administered at the end of surgery for residual intraocular inflammation. During surgery, a peripheral grayish-white granulomatous lesion with associated retinal traction was identified. Paired serum and undiluted vitreous fluid testing showed elevated anti-
