Choroidal Nevus with Retinal Invasion in 8 Cases.
Article in Ocular oncology and pathology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeChoroidal nevus can cause overlying chronic retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) degenerative features, but frank retinal invasion is exquisitely rare. PROCEDURES: This is a retrospective review of 8 cases of choroidal nevus with retinal invasion with evaluation of clinical and imaging features.
resultsAt the time of diagnosis of choroidal nevus with retinal invasion, mean patient age was 65 years. Mean tumor basal diameter was 7 mm, and mean thickness was 2.3 mm. Retinal invasion was ophthalmoscopically visible in all eyes. Related features included drusen (
conclusionRetinal invasion of the choroidal nevus is rare. In this series of 8 cases, only 1 demonstrated transformation to melanoma over a mean interval of 40 months. Long-term monitoring of such lesions is warranted.
