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

purposeAlthough diagnosing vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL) can be challenging, early detection is critical for visual prognosis. We analyzed the spectrum of optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in patients with biopsy-proven VRL and correlate these features with clinical parameters.

designThis retrospective cross-sectional study was a multicenter chart review from 13 retina, uveitis, and ocular oncology clinics worldwide from 2008 to 2019. We included patients with a diagnosis of biopsy-proven VRL imaged with OCT at presentation. Ocular information, systemic information, and multimodal retinal imaging findings were collected and studied. The main outcome measure was the characteristics of VRL on OCT.

resultsA total of 182 eyes of 115 patients (63 women, mean age 65 years) were included in this study. The disease was bilateral in 81 patients (70%), and mean baseline visual acuity was 0.2 ± 0.89 logMAR (Snellen equivalent, 20/32). At baseline, 38 patients (33%) presented with isolated ocular involvement, 54 (45%) with associated central nervous system involvement, and 11 (10%) with other systemic lymphomatous involvement; an additional 12 patients (10%) presented with central nervous system and other systemic involvement. On OCT, tumor infiltration was identified in various retinal layers, including lesions in the subretinal pigment epithelium compartment (91% of eyes), the subretinal compartment (43% of eyes), and the intraretinal compartment (7% of eyes). OCT analysis of eyes with VRL identified 3 main regions of retinal infiltration. Subretinal pigment epithelium location, with or without subretinal infiltration, was the most common pattern of involvement and isolated intraretinal infiltration was the least.
