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

backgroundTo report the clinical features of a patient with melanoma-associated retinopathy (MAR) with anti-transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 1 (TRPM1) autoantibodies showing concomitant Off-bipolar cell dysfunction.

methodsWe evaluated a patient with a past history of scalp melanoma presented with sudden-onset shimmering photopsia in both eyes. MAR was confirmed with complete ophthalmic examinations, electronegative electroretinogram (ERG), and the presence of anti-TRPM1 autoantibodies by Western blot analysis. S-cone ERG and photopic On-Off ERG were studied in this patient as well.

resultsThe patient's best-corrected visual acuity was 6/30 in the right eye and 6/8.6 in the left eye. Fundus and OCT findings were unremarkable. Visual field test showed severe constriction in both eyes. His full-field ERG was electronegative. S-cone ERG recorded preservation of L/M-cone-mediated response and undetectable S-cone-mediated response. Photopic On-Off ERG disclosed attenuated On- and Off-response. Western blot analysis confirmed immunoreactivity of the patient's serum to a 30 kDa TRPM1 recombinant protein. Whole-body positron emission tomography scan detected lymph node metastases in the neck.

conclusionsAnti-TRPM1 autoantibody-positive MAR varies greatly in its presentation and clinical course. We present a case of anti-TRPM1 autoantibody-positive MAR with atypical feature of Off-bipolar cell involvement. A complete electroretinographic study together with identification of the pathogenic antiretinal autoantibodies may help better understand and subclassify the disease in the future.
