Retinal pigment epithelium aperture: A late-onset complication in adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThe purpose of the study was to report aperture of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) as a late complication and an unreported finding during the natural course of adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy (AFVD).
methodsFour diagnosed cases of AFVD followed for a period ranging from 4 to 8 years. All patients had documented records of clinical examination, fundus autofluorescence and fluorescein angiography, and spectral domain-optical coherence tomography at regular intervals.
resultsBesides the known stages in the natural course of AFVD, RPE aperture was noted as an additional finding during the vitelliruptive stage of the disease. The vitelliform material was noted beneath the disrupted RPE before disappearance. Accumulation of vitelliform material continued even after the vitelliruptive stage.
conclusionRPE aperture may represent an ongoing process in the natural course of AFVD.
