Posterior Polar Hemispheric Choroidal Dystrophy: Case Report and Presentation of Genetic Screening.
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 1 paper.
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: Posterior polar hemispheric choroidal dystrophy is a rare dystrophy affecting the choroid and retina with a characteristic clinical appearance that distinguishes it from a broad variety of other retinal diseases. The disease process has a morphology described in the literature that preferentially affects the outer macula and spares the fovea with no arteriolar attenuation or optic nerve pallor. Methods: This case report illustrates the use of multimodal retinal imaging, visual field testing, electroretinogram, and genetic testing of a patient who we believe fits the clinical pattern established by previous studies describing this condition. Results: Fundus imaging in addition to further imaging modalities such as fluorescein angiography helped further characterize this disease process and aided in the diagnosis. In addition, genetic testing revealed unique allele variants found in this patient. Conclusions: By taking a multifaceted approach to the diagnosis of retinal pathology, clinicians can make informed decisions regarding patient care.
