Successful long-term treatment of paraneoplastic optic neuropathy with mycophenolate mofetil, prednisone, and plasmapheresis.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 report long-term follow-up of a case of paraneoplastic optic neuropathy (PON) successfully treated with combination therapy. OBSERVATIONS: We present a confirmed case of PON from cutaneous melanoma with nearly six years of meticulous follow-up in which vision was preserved and disease remission was successfully induced with combination mycophenolate mofetil, prednisone, and plasmapheresis therapy. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Treatment of PON and long-term follow-up are not well described in the literature. In our case of PON, vision was preserved and disease remission was achieved with mycophenolate mofetil, prednisone, and plasmapheresis. Such information may be useful for future cases of PON.
