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
purposeTo describe the spectral-domain optical coherence tomographic (SD-OCT) features of inflammatory choroidal neovascular membranes (iCNV) in multifocal choroiditis and punctate inner choroidopathy, and to compare them to those of the acute inflammatory lesions in the same underlying diseases. This is a retrospective, consecutive, observational case series.
methodsEach patient underwent a comprehensive eye examination, fundus photography, and fluorescein angiography (FA) on the initial visit. SD-OCT features of iCNV were reviewed at presentation and 4 weeks later, and were compared to SD-OCT features of the inflammatory lesions. There were ten eyes with iCNV and eight eyes with the acute lesions of chorioretinitis.
resultsAll iCNV had a sub-retinal pigment epithelium (sub-RPE) component and a subretinal or retinal component that infiltrated the outer retinal layers to different extents. All iCNV had associated fluid exudation, and all showed RPE and inner segment/outer segment junction layer (IS/OS) disruption. On the other hand, approximately half of the inflammatory lesions were confined between Bruch's membrane and RPE; the rest showed infiltration into the outer retinal layers in a pattern similar to iCNV, with no fluid exudation but with associated choroidal hyperreflectivity. In most of them, disruption of RPE and IS/OS was also noted.
conclusionsThe acute lesions of chorioretinitis can be difficult to distinguish from iCNV based on clinical examination and FA. However, iCNV demonstrate characteristic SD-OCT features not seen with the inflammatory lesions. These findings may help to differentiate these two entities that typically require different treatments.
