Clinical characteristics of cuticular drusen in the Japanese population.
Article in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo investigate the clinical characteristics of eyes with cuticular drusen in Japanese individuals, while paying special attention to large colloid drusen (LCD). STUDY
designRetrospective case series.
methodsEyes with cuticular drusen, from patients of 4 medical institutes in Japan, were investigated. Multimodal imaging findings were used to diagnose cuticular drusen. LCD was defined as cuticular drusen > 200 µm.
resultsTwenty-four eyes from 12 patients (8 women, 4 men) were diagnosed with cuticular drusen. The mean age of all patients (n = 12) was 60.8 years. The mean age of patients without additional macular pathology (n = 5) was 55.4 years. Of the 7 patients with additional macular pathology, 6 (85.7%) exhibited age-related macular degeneration-associated macular pathology, including drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment (PED) (8 eyes from 4 patients), geographic atrophy (2 eyes from 1 patient), and occult choroidal neovascularization (1 eye). LCD were found in 6 eyes of 3 patients (25%), those with LCD were on average 53.7 ± 8.7 years old and those without 69.9 ± 14.1 years of age (P = 0.064, Mann-Whitney U test).
conclusionsCuticular drusen were predominantly seen in females, and drusenoid PED was most frequently seen in eyes with additional macular pathology. LCD were seen in 25% of eyes with cuticular drusen.
