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

purposeTo report a case of multifocal choroiditis (MC) that has relapsed as choroidal neovascularization in the contralateral eye followed by a mixed aspect of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) and MC.

methodsRetrospective case report and literature review. The clinical findings were documented by fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography, and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A).

resultsThe authors describe the case of a 39-year-old woman with prior ocular history of presumed MEWDS in her left eye, which developed into MC 7 years later in the same eye and 11 years later in the right eye, starting as choroidal neovascularization and developing into MEWDS. OCT-A showed neovessel in a supposedly active MC area outside the macular region in right and left eyes. OCT showed increased choroidal thickness in both eyes and a choroidal neovascularization in the right eye, treated using anti- VEGF therapy.

conclusionThis case corroborates the proximity of some inflammatory diseases such as MC and MEWDS. OCT-A has opened new horizons for the better understanding of some retinal diseases by providing more thorough and promising morphological analyses using enhanced tools.
