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

purposeCircumscribed choroidal hemangioma is a rare condition where there is development of benign vascular tumors, and it generally appears in middle-aged adults. Here we report a case of Chinese medicine, Gui Lu Er Xian Jiao - related serous retinal detachment secondary to circumscribed choroidal hemangioma. OBSERVATIONS: A 55-year-old female, who had no remarkable ocular or medical history but has been taking a special Chinese compound medicine, Gui Lu Er Xian Jiao, for the past 2 years, presented with progressive blurred vision in the left eye for weeks. After serial ocular examinations, serous retinal detachment 2nd to circumscribed choroidal hemangioma was disclosed. Owing to the close timing association with medication history of Gui Lu Er Xian Jiao, we advised her to discontinue the Chinese medicine first. The serous retinal detachment resolved completely without any other management. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: The content of Gui Lu Er Xian Jiao has been reported to have angiogenesis effect, which possibly change the vascular permeability and induce the serous retinal detachment and therefore blurred vision in our patient. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on such relationship between Gui Lu Er Xian Jiao and serous retinal detachment 2nd to circumscribed choroidal hemangioma. The case report highlighted the importance of detailed history taking in the management of ocular diseases.
