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

A 52-year-old man with a history of facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) and hypertension presented with decreased vision in his left eye (OS) of several weeks' duration. The best-corrected visual acuity was 1.0 in both eyes (OU), with fundus soft exudates in the right eye (OD) and exudative maculopathy OS. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed macular edema and hard exudates OS, and OCT angiography (OCTA) showed nonperfusion areas and arterial tortuosity OU and a capillary aneurysm OS. After photocoagulation of the nonperfusion areas OU and intravitreal injection of aflibercept OS, the macular edema OS decreased and subjective symptoms improved. However, the nonperfusion area OS was enlarged on OCTA. We report the OCTA findings before and after antivascular endothelial growth factor treatment in a patient with FSHD.
