A Case Report of Dengue-Associated Maculopathy With Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
We report a case of dengue-associated maculopathy in a healthy adult. A 31-year-old lady with dengue fever presented with both eye sudden, painless blurry vision in the left eye. On examination, the best-corrected visual acuity was 6/18 in her right eye and 2/60 in her left eye. Anterior segment examination was unremarkable. Fundi showed bilateral macula edema with cotton wool spots. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) macula scan was suggestive of bilateral macula edema, with higher severity in the left eye. She was started on intravenous methylprednisolone 500mg once daily for three days. Upon completion of steroids, her right eye visual acuity improved to 6/6 however her left eye vision worsened to 3/60 after six months. Her OCT six months later showed resolved macula edema on both eyes. Ocular manifestation associated with dengue fever is rare but may result in permanent visual impairment. The use of high-dose steroids helps in improving visual acuity.
