Atypical Retinal Pigment Epithelial Hyperplasia and Glial Proliferation Masquerading as Progressive Recurrent Retinoblastoma: A Case Report Review and Clinicopathologic Correlation.

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
backgroundRecurrences of retinoblastoma tumors, particularly scar recurrences, are a common phenomenon in the management of this cancer. Consolidative treatment with laser and cryotherapy are required for local control of disease. It is known that consolidative therapy can induce retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) hyperplasia and gliosis. Herein we report extensive RPE hyperplasia and gliosis during laser therapy for a focal scar recurrence, which presented as a progressive retinal opacification mimicking active retinoblastoma.
methodThis is a retrospective case review.
resultsA 2-month-old premature male was diagnosed with sporadic bilateral retinoblastoma (International Intraocular Retinoblastoma Classification [IIRC] group B in the right eye and IIRC group A in the left eye). The patient underwent laser therapy for a focal recurrence which demonstrated a white lesion during therapy and was subsequently enucleated. While there was a focal recurrence and infiltration of the retina (seen both on optical coherence tomography and histopathologic section), the majority of the white, progressive lesion was from extensive RPE hyperplasia and gliosis secondary to laser therapy.
conclusionClinicopathologic correlation of the active recurrence and adjacent gliosis is demonstrated.
