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

We report the occurrence of serous retinal detachment (SRD) in acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE). A 22-year-old man with no general or ophthalmological pathological history presented with an acute and bilateral decreased visual acuity. There was no notion of recent flu or recent vaccination. There were anterior chamber cells and vitreous cells. Fundus revealed white-yellowish lesions, scattered on posterior pole and periphery, associated with SRD in both eyes. Fluorescein Angiography showed early hypofluorescence followed by late hyperfuorescence. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed hyperreflective bands of the outer nuclear layer and interruption of the ellipsoid zone associated with bilateral SRD. Repeat OCT revealed a spontaneous and complete regression of SRD in both eyes, and improvement of visual acuity after one week of evolution without any treatment. Serous retinal detachment is an uncommon manifestation of APMPPE. It is more suggestive of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH), although angiographic features are typically observed in APMPPE. Moreover, spontaneous decrease of SRD within a few days is more in favor of APMPPE.
