Systemic combined with intravitreal methotrexate for relentless placoid chorioretinitis: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. 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
backgroundWe describe a case of relentless placoid chorioretinitis (RPC) that progressed despite administration of peribulbar and systemic corticosteroids, and was resolved by systemic combined with intravitreal methotrexate. CASE SUMMARY: A 16-year-old male reported painless blurred vision and a temporal scotoma in his right eye for one week. Due to widespread distribution and continuous enlargement, multimodal imaging of the lesions led to the diagnosis of RPC. Lesions in the right eye extended despite peribulbar injection of triamcinolone acetonide, but the progression was immediately terminated by a single dose of intravitreal methotrexate. A new fresh lesion occurred in the contralateral eye despite systemic prednisolone but was resolved by oral methotrexate.
conclusionSystemic immunosuppressants should be given upon RPC diagnosis. Intravitreal methotrexate immediately halted progression and may be considered for sight-threatening cases as part of the initial therapy.
