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

A 51-year-old man had experienced declining visual acuity for 4 months. His best-corrected visual acuity was 20/40 in both eyes. Ophthalmoscopic examination showed a yellowish placoid lesion over the macular area, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) revealed subretinal fluid accumulation in the left eye, which resembled that seen with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Three days later, fluorescein angiography (FA) revealed fluorescein leakage, and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) showed hypofluorescence over the lesion. Persistent ellipsoid zone loss as spontaneously resolved subretinal fluid was noted at the same time with SD-OCT. Laboratory examination disclosed positive rapid plasma reagin and
