Retinoblastoma in the Presence of Persistent Fetal Vasculature.
Article in Journal of vitreoretinal diseases. 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
Purpose: This work aims to report the challenging diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of a patient with persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) and retinoblastoma (RB). Methods: A 22-month-old boy presented with unilateral RB stage VB in the right eye and PFV in both eyes. The patient was treated with transpupillary laser ablation and systemic chemotherapy. Results: Treatment resulted in complete tumor regression. Two years after the last systemic chemotherapy treatment, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed increased signal intensity with progressive optic nerve enhancement, where intraneural malignancy could not be excluded. Enucleation of the right eye was performed. Histopathologic review showed no residual active malignancy in the enucleated globe. Conclusions: This case demonstrates the importance of a thorough clinical examination to establish the correct diagnosis and to rule out RB before any surgery. This case also highlights the importance of regular follow-ups after tumor regression with full a ophthalmologic examination, B-scan, and periodic MRI.
