Retinitis pigmentosa sine pigmento masqueraded as myopia: A case report (CARE).
Article in Medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionRetinitis pigmentosa is a major cause of visual disability and blindness. Photopsia is usually presented in patients with retinal traction caused by posterior vitreous detachment in clinic, which would occur more commonly in those suffer from moderate or high myopia. We describe a patient with leopard-like retinopathy initially complaining of photopsia caused not by myopia but by retinitis pigmentosa. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 39-year-old woman with a history of moderate myopia presented to us complaining of photopsia for several days. DIAGNOSIS: Fundus examination revealed leopard-like retinopathy with normal optic disc and macula appearance in both eyes. The atrophy of retinal pigment epithelium was found in peripheral retina while no bone spicule was present. Retinal multimodal imaging helped in the correct diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa (sine pigmento), later confirmed by genetic testing.
interventionsAt current no specific treatment was applied, but the patient was required for follow-up observation every six months. OUTCOMES: Follow-up observation.
conclusionThis case highlights the potential for retinitis pigmentosa sine pigmento to present with photopsia under cover of myopia and the importance of performing multimodal imaging including fundus autofluorescence for fundus disorders. Careful history review and multimodal imaging with genetic testing would help for the correct diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa sine pigmento.
