Distribution patterns of torpedo maculopathy: Further evidence of a congenital retinal nerve fiber layer-driven etiology.
Review 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 7 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
With fewer than 100 peer-reviewed cases reported in the world to date, the underlying etiology of torpedo maculopathy has remained elusive. In this literature review, we provide new evidence to better support, reject and unify claims regarding cause, diagnosis, and proper clinical management of this disease. We reviewed 44 case reports and case series, which included 77 patients (after exclusions). We additionally introduced 3 new cases from our clinical practice for a total of 80 cases. Ages at presentation ranged from 6 months old to 73 years old (mean: 24.2 years old). The nasal aspects of torpedo maculopathy lesions pointed toward the optic disc and localized to a kite-shaped region of the temporal macula, correlating with the anatomic junction of the superior arcuate, inferior arcuate, and papillomacular bundles of retinal nerve fiber layer distribution. No patterns were observed among the temporal aspects of the lesions. These findings support a congenital etiology of torpedo maculopathy and a possible influence of the retinal nerve fiber layer in the development of mature retinal pigment epithelium.
