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

Purpose: To report a case of angioid streaks that showed non-exudative choroidal neovascularization (CNV) after the onset of acute retinopathy in pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). Observations: A 64-year-old woman with PXE visited our department for an ophthalmologic evaluation. Her decimal best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.5, with angioid streaks (AS) around the optic disc in either eye at the first visit. Seven years later, her left eye's BCVA suddenly decreased by 0.3, and the fundus showed blurring of the Ellipsoid zone and vitreous cells along with the retinal pigment streaks on the nasal fovea. Diagnosed as acute retinopathy in PXE, twenty-two weeks after the start of oral prednisolone, the Ellipsoid zone became clear and the BCVA improved to 1.2, but CNV gradually developed. After intravitreal injection of bevacizumab, the CNV was decreased. Conclusions and importance: CNV on the AS lesion may occur after acute retinopathy in PXE.
