Retinal Vasculitis Associated With Dermatomyositis Treated With Intravenous Steroids.
Article in Journal of vitreoretinal diseases. 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
Purpose: This work aims to present treatment and long-term follow-up of a 31-year-old woman with dermatomyositis who presented with hemorrhagic retinal vasculitis and macular edema. Methods: A retrospective case report is presented. Results: A 31-year-old woman with dermatomyositis treated with systemic immunosuppression was evaluated for acute, reduced vision. Best-corrected visual acuity was hand motion in the right eye and 20/200 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed diffuse intraretinal hemorrhages, cotton-wool spots, and vascular sheathing with a frosted branch angiitis-like appearance. Optical coherence tomography revealed significant macular edema and subretinal fluid that quickly resolved after admission and treatment with intravenous steroids. Multimodal imaging at 7-year follow-up disclosed long-term sequelae including peripheral nonperfusion and retinal neovascularization. Conclusions: When vasculitis associated with dermatomyositis is treated aggressively with intravenous steroids at initial presentation, good visual acuity outcomes can be achieved, but long-term consequences of retinal nonperfusion and neovascularization persist.
