Acute Exudative Polymorphous Vitelliform Maculopathy Syndrome; natural history and evolution of fundal and OCT images over time.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2018. 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
A 33-year-old man presented with a 10-day history of bilateral blurred vision on a background of a prodromal influenza-like illness. Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) and fundal examination coincided with a diagnosis of atypical central serous retinopathy. The patient's symptoms worsened during follow-up, and he was started on steroids. Subsequent fundal examination revealed yellow deposits in a honeycomb pattern and hard exudates in the perimacular region. Serial OCTs revealed progression of bilateral macular intraretinal and subretinal fluid. He was subsequently admitted to hospital for a full paraneoplastic workup. Liaison with our colleagues in other specialist retinal centres led us to a diagnosis of acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy syndrome. We subsequently took fundal images to monitor disease progression and to monitor changes seen with autofluorescence in this rare disease entity.
