Retinoblastoma in older patients: A retrospective comparative analysis of 100 consecutive patients based on age.
Article in Saudi journal of ophthalmology : official journal of the Saudi Ophthalmological Society. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 describe comparative clinical features, treatment, and outcomes of retinoblastoma in patients initially diagnosed at age 4 or older.
methodsRetrospective case series.
resultsThere were 101 eyes in 100 consecutive patients age ≥4 years diagnosed with retinoblastoma. Mean patient age at diagnosis was 6.6 years (median 5.3, range 4.0-41.0 years). Tumors were predominantly classified (International Classification of Retinoblastoma) as group D (31%) or E (65%). Patients were divided by age into 3 groups: young (4-6 years [65%]), middle (>6-8 years [23%]), and older (>8 years [12%]). Comparing by age group (young vs. middle vs. older), mean tumor basal diameter (19.9 vs. 17.3 vs. 17.0 mm,
conclusionRetinoblastoma in older patients (>8 years) tends to be smaller and more peripherally located, with more subjective presenting symptoms.
