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

Purpose: To describe a patient with concurrent pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) and Cowden syndrome who developed choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to angioid streaks. The CNV presented at a young age and was relatively refractory to intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed. Results: A 32-year-old man was treated for bilateral sequential CNV over 11 years. Good visual acuity was maintained with 53 anti-VEGF injections in the right eye and 82 injections in the left eye. On average, 1 injection was administered every 1.7 months in each eye to control the exudation. A skin biopsy and genetic testing confirmed a diagnosis of PXE. He was also found to harbor a Conclusions: The concurrent
