Choroidal biopsies; a review and optimised approach.
Review in Eye (London, England), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
The majority of choroidal tumours are diagnosed accurately with clinical examination and the additional data obtained from non-invasive imaging techniques. Choroidal biopsies may be undertaken for diagnostic clarity in cases such as small melanocytic or indeterminate lesions, identifying the primary tumour in the case of choroidal metastases or the subclassification of rarer conditions such as uveal lymphoma. There is however an increasing use of biopsy techniques for prognostication in uveal melanoma. This review explores the main indications and surgical techniques for tumour acquisition, and the optimised approach utilised by the current authors to improve successful yield for histological and genetic analysis.
