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
purposeThis study aims to examine the relationship between ocular circulation changes and visual field defects in optic disk melanocytoma (ODM).
methodsFive eyes of five patients were enrolled in this study. All patients were diagnosed with ODM in the Department of Ophthalmology, Hokkaido University Hospital from March 2009 to November 2017. Ophthalmological data including optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) findings were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsThe five ODM cases consisted of two females and three males. Ages of the patients ranged from 47 to 82 years (mean 54 years). Follow-up periods were from 4 to 105 months. Fluorescein angiography showed hypo-fluorescence throughout the examination in all four eyes examined with this modality. OCTA detected dense blood vessel networks in the tumor in two out of the five eyes. Nasal visual field defects were found in two other eyes, which were correlated with locations of tumors free of vessel networks. One ODM eye without marked visual field defects and pigmentations showed lower mean blur rates determined by LSFG in optic disk vessels and tissue circulations than those in the contralateral eye. During follow-up, there was no tumor enlargement in any case.
conclusionsThis study showed the relationship between the deficit of blood vessel networks and visual field defects in ODM patients. LSFG demonstrated reduced blood flow in the tumor, suggesting that circulatory disorder caused by the optic disk tumor might be correlated with visual field defect.
