Retinal Vein Occlusion in a Patient on Dabrafenib and Trametinib Therapy for Metastatic Melanoma.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 purpose of this case report is to highlight the ocular complications of dabrafenib and trametinib treatment. We discuss the case of an 81-year-old female treated with dabrafenib and trametinib for metastatic melanoma, who developed a retinal branch vein occlusion with macular edema in the right eye. The other eye was healthy. The treatment was discontinued and her macular edema was managed with a loading dose of three injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) medication with a good response. The use of BRAF and MEK inhibitors is increasingly becoming widespread, and hence it is important to report cases of these adverse effects to achieve earlier diagnoses and initiate fast and effective treatments.
