Central Serous Chorioretinopathy Following Oral Use of Adulterated Honey Mixed with Tadalafil: A Case Report.

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
backgroundCentral serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is an idiopathic condition characterized by serous retinal detachment and/or retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) detachment, the condition associated with a fluid leak through the RPE into subretinal space. This article reports on an unusual case of CSCR following taking adulterated honey mixed with tadalafil powder. CASE PRESENTATION: A 38-year-old male, not known to have any medical illnesses, came to our ophthalmology clinic complaining of sudden onset of blurred central vision in the left eye for five days after taking an adulterated honey which was claimed to improve sexual performance. On taking a history, the patient denied taking any medications or past eye trauma or surgery. On detailed ophthalmologic examination, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/20 in the right eye and 20/80 in the left eye. Dilated fundus examination of the right eye showed a flat retina, normal macular reflex, healthy optic nerve head and the left eye showed blunt foveal reflex with neurosensory retinal detachment at the macula and subretinal fluid. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the left eye showed marked macular thickening, leading to the impression of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Four weeks after stopping the adulterated honey, BCVA improved to 20/20 in the left eye, with complete resolution of subretinal fluids.
conclusionOur case adds to recently reported cases of a link between tadalafil and CSCR.
