Cancer-associated retinopathy 4 years after surgery for ovarian cancer.
Article in Oman journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A 71-year-old woman presented with progressive, bilateral, blurred vision and nyctalopia for the last 6 months. Her past medical history included total hysterectomy and chemotherapy for ovarian cancer 4 years ago, without metastases. Optical coherence tomography revealed outer retinal layers' thinning bilaterally, while diffuse retinal pigment epithelium abnormalities were found in fundus autofluorescence. Full-field electroretinogram showed abnormalities in both a- and b-waves with significant reduction of retinal sensitivity, affecting however more the rod system. The patient was positive for alpha-enolase and was diagnosed with cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR), which developed 4-year primary cancer. Computerized tomography scan revealed an enlarged para-aortic lymph node at the left kidney, and the patient was started on chemotherapy, combined with immunosuppressive treatment. In conclusion, CAR should be suspected in patients experiencing unexplained visual disturbances, especially in the context of previous cancer.
