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 two patients with transient decreased vision and associated paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) lesions identified with multi-modal imaging, including what we believe to be the first documented patient of PAMM associated with iron deficiency anemia. OBSERVATIONS: Case 1 is a 56-year-old man who experienced transient blurred vision one week following cardiac ablation for atrial fibrillation. Symptoms resolved by the time of presentation and visual acuity was 20/20 in each eye. Ocular examination was unremarkable aside from subtle discoloration within the papillomacular bundle in the right eye. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) revealed thickening of the middle retinal layers with a corresponding area of hyporeflectivity on the

conclusionsSmall arterial occlusions of the retina remain difficult to diagnose and may represent a sequela of systemic disease. Multi-modal imaging is helpful in equivocal cases with subtle clinical findings. IMPORTANCE: The present case report illustrates the utility of multi-modal imaging in diagnosing transient ischemic events of the retina, and reports what we believe to be the first association of PAMM with iron deficiency anemia.
