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 a unique case of metastatic paraganglioma presenting as a junctional scotoma. OBSERVATIONS: A 38-year-old Caucasian man with a history of abdominal paraganglioma presented with minimally blurred vision 20/25 visual acuity in the left eye. The patient was found to have a junctional scotoma upon visual field testing. Cranial MRI revealed a large peri-clival mass compressing the pre-chiasmal optic nerves and other loci of metastatic disease. Intracranial masses, including metastases, can present with a relatively intact central acuity and nonspecific visual symptoms. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of metastatic paraganglioma causing a junctional scotoma. In cases with junctional scotoma, careful neuro-ophthalmic assessment and imaging are of paramount importance, even in patients with excellent visual acuity.
