Comparing treatment outcomes in randomized controlled trials of central serous chorioretinopathy.
Synthesis in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeTo perform a qualitative analysis of outcomes published from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) from 1979 to 2022.
designSystematic review.
methodsAll RCTs (including both therapeutic and non-therapeutic interventions) on CSCR available online till July 2022 were included after an electronic search in multiple databases such as PubMed, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, BIOSIS, Scopus, and Cochrane database. We analyzed and compared the inclusion criteria, imaging modalities, study endpoints, duration, and the results of the study.
resultsThe literature search yielded 498 potential publications. After excluding duplicate studies and studies that met clear exclusion criteria, 64 were screened for further evaluation, of which 7 were removed due to a lack of necessary inclusion criteria. A total of 57 eligible studies are described in this review.
conclusionThis review provides a comparative overview of key outcomes reported between RCTs investigating CSCR. We describe the current landscape of treatment modalities for CSCR and note the discrepancies between results in these published studies. Challenges arise when attempting to compare similar study designs without comparable outcome measures (i.e., clinical vs. structural) which may limit the overall evidence presented. To mitigate this issue, we present the collected data from each study in tables detailing the measures that are and are not assessed in each publication.
