Metastatic Choroidal Melanoma Presenting as Neovascular Glaucoma.
Article in Case reports in 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
Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular tumor in adults and can have varying presentations, although it is frequently asymptomatic. One rare presentation of uveal melanoma is neovascular glaucoma (NVG). We present a case of a 20-year-old male who presented with 2 weeks of left eye redness and decreased vision who was found to have NVG. He was referred for evaluation of glaucoma. Fundoscopic and ultrasonographic examination revealed a mushroom-shaped choroidal mass with low internal reflectivity consistent with choroidal melanoma. The patient underwent enucleation, and metastatic workup revealed hepatic metastases. The patient died 18 months after initial diagnosis. This case emphasizes the importance of a complete ophthalmic evaluation in cases presenting with NVG of unclear etiology to exclude the presence of a potentially life-threatening intraocular tumor.
