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

purposeTo report optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) of iris microhemangiomatosis. OBSERVATIONS: A 75-year-old asymptomatic Caucasian man was found to have bilateral pupillary vascular lesions during cataract evaluation. Visual acuity was counting fingers in the right eye (OD) and 20/40 in the left eye (OS) with normal intraocular pressures in both eyes (OU). In each eye there were multifocal, round, dark red, pinpoint vascular tufts at the pupillary margin, randomly distributed and numbering 1 in OD and 7 in OS, each measuring 0.2-0.3 mm in diameter and without active bleeding or hyphema. Fundus examination OU was normal. By fluorescein angiography, the multifocal pupillary vascular tufts demonstrated mild staining without leakage. By OCTA, the tufts were clearly delineated and were fed by normal appearing radial iris vessels. OCT b-scan documented the optically dense vascular tufts at 0.1 mm in thickness and angio-overlay confirmed blood flow emanating from the deep iris stroma. Observation was recommended with the option of cataract surgery to improve vision. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Non-invasive imaging of iris microhemangiomatosis with OCTA delineates the vascular lesion with flow arising from the posterior iris stroma.
