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
Multifocal choroiditis (MFC) can be associated with ocular tuberculosis (TB). Inflammatory peripapillary choroidal neovascular membrane (PPCNVM) is uncommon in TB MFC. Subretinal pigment epithelial inflammatory lesions are suggestive of acute inflammation or reactivation of inflammation in the setting of MFC. We present a case of MFC, of tubercular aetiology, during course of treatment of PPCNVM developed a subfoveal retinal pigment epithelial lesion. Clinical examination suggested a recurrence of PPCNVM, with the new macular lesions posing a dilemma of new onset inflammatory choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) at the macula versus reactivation of choroiditis at the posterior pole. Multimodal imaging helped differentiate the lesion from CNVM and give the appropriate antitubercular treatment to prevent future recurrences.
