Electrooculogram (EOG) findings in a case of acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy (AEPVM) detected following trauma.

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.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to monitor a case of acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy detected following trauma.
methodsClinical examination included fundus photographs, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography. Pattern and full-field electroretinograms (PERG; ERG) and serial electrooculograms (EOG) were performed, incorporating the international standards.
resultsA 45-year-old Caucasian woman developed blurring of vision in both eyes 5 days after a serious road traffic accident. On examination, bilateral serous macular detachments and multiple small yellow subretinal lesions were observed in both eyes associated with areas of serous retinal detachment superior and inferior to the yellow lesions in the left eye. OCT showed retinal elevation with a band of high reflectance on the outer retina but no intra-retinal fluid or elevation of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). There was bilateral EOG reduction in keeping with generalised RPE dysfunction and pattern ERG evidence of left macular involvement. After 9 months, the patient reported spontaneous improvement in vision with gravitational settling and coalescence of the subretinal yellow deposits. At 37 months, there was improvement in the EOG and visual acuity.
conclusionsA rare case of AEPVM is described that was detected following trauma and which gradually improved over 37 months. The EOG showed evidence of generalised RPE dysfunction that resolved and may be useful in the monitoring of AEPVM.
