Central Serous Chorioretinopathy Development following Cessation of Terbinafine Treatment.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This report describes a case of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) occurring following cessation of terbinafine treatment. A 51-year-old man presented for a routine ophthalmic examination. He was treated with oral terbinafine for onychomycosis up to 3 months before the presentation. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed extrafoveal subretinal fluid in both eyes with small underlying pigment epithelial detachments. There were no additional relevant findings in the patient history or ocular examination. A diagnosis of CSCR was made. After 10 weeks without treatment, OCT demonstrated almost complete resolution of subretinal fluid in both eyes. The exact key ingredients of the perfect storm leading to CSCR in young, healthy individuals are still unknown. Here, we describe, to our knowledge, the first documented case, where the appearance of CSCR was apparently triggered by cessation of antifungal treatment. This unusual case may provoke further research that will bring us closer to understanding the mechanism behind the appearance of CSCR. It may also widen the scope of the routine anamnesis when dealing with patients newly diagnosed with this enigmatic condition.
