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

Corticosteroid-induced central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) has been reported to develop in many intraocular inflammatory diseases and usually resolves spontaneously after discontinuation of corticosteroids. Patients without any improvement may require alternative therapies. In this case report, we present the case of a 35-year-old man with Behçet's disease who had complaints of decreased vision due to CSCR in his left eye while using systemic corticosteroids along with cyclosporine and azathioprine. Half-fluence photodynamic therapy (PDT) was performed because the CSCR did not regress despite discontinuation of systemic corticosteroids. After treatment, his visual acuity increased with complete resolution of the subfoveal fluid. Half-fluence PDT seems to be an effective and safe treatment for patients who develop acute CSCR while under systemic or local corticosteroid therapy for intraocular inflammatory diseases such as Behçet's uveitis and do not improve despite steroid discontinuation.
