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

rationaleCystoid macular edema (CME) is a rare complication of the paclitaxel. However, the pathophysiology was unknown. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 60-year-old female presented with bilateral blurred vision due to cystoid macular edema after taking 12-course paclitaxel for her breast cancer. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography (FAG), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), electroretinogram (ERG) and electrooculogram (EOG) were performed. DIAGNOSES: Paclitaxel-induced macular edema.

interventionsPaclitaxel was discontinued and supportive treatment with pentoxifylline was given. OUTCOMES: The OCT showed bilateral cystoid macular edema. Impaired filling of choriocapillaries was noted on the ICGA; while EOG revealed decreased Arden ratio. The visual acuity, cystoid macular edema and decreased Arden ratio improved slowly over six months. LESSONS: Paclitaxel rarely causes cystoid macular edema. The damage of choriocapillaries and retinal pigment epithelium might be the underlying cause. Immediate discontinuation of the drug helps visual recovery.
