Choroidal neovascularization complicating sclerochoroidal calcifications.

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
purposeSclerochoroidal calcifications (SCC) are rare conditions characterized by unifocal or multifocal well-defined scleral deposits of calcium. The present study describes two cases of SCC complicated by the onset of choroidal neovascularization (CNV).
methodFive patients affected by SCC were enrolled in the study and two cases were complicated by CNV. Both patients underwent complete ophthalmic examination with multimodal imaging including optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
resultsIn the two patients with CNV (1 male), BCVA was 20/40 and 20/50 in the affected eyes. Fundus examination revealed an irregular yellow-white lesion close to the superotemporal arcade in both patients, with exudation. The diagnosis of CNV was performed by means of fluorescein angiography in one patient and OCTA in the other patient. The patients received a total of 3 and 9 ranibizumab injections respectively over a six-year follow-up, reaching a final BCVA of 20/25 in both patients with stabilization of the CNV.
conclusionsSCC may be complicated by CNV, with good management obtained by intravitreal anti-VEGF injections.
