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 the distinct vascular pattern of a treatment-naïve retinal hemangioblastoma imaged on swept source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA). OBSERVATIONS: A 33-year-old female with a history of Von Hippel-Lindau disease presented for follow-up of bilateral retinal hemangioblastomas. Ultra-widefield fundus photography of the left eye revealed a small, juxtapapillary lesion. SS-OCTA imaging centered at the lesion identified two distinct vascular foci. Centrally, the lesion was composed of a dense capillary meshwork. Peripherally, a pattern of branching vessels with terminal budding was identified. The patient was diagnosed with a new juxtapapillary retinal hemangioblastoma. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: SS-OCTA can visualize the in-vivo vascular structure of retinal hemangioblastomas. Early lesion identification can help in prompt diagnosis and monitoring. Further investigation is needed to assert if the branching and budding pattern described in this case report is broadly characteristic of this tumor entity.
