Giant pars plana cysts and a diagnostic approach to peripheral retinal elevation with the assistance of multimodal imaging.
Article in BMJ case reports, 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
A man in his 50s was referred for a suspected superotemporal retinal tear in the right eye. Fundus examination showed multiple areas of elevated retina temporally in both eyes which were immobile and did not reappose with scleral depression. No retinal breaks were present. Ultra-widefield colour fundus photography with Optos captured these areas of elevated retina in both eyes temporally, which on fundus autofluorescence where hypoautofluorescent with no leading hyperautofluorescent edge. On ultrasound biomicroscopy, an immobile lesion with a single hyperechoic convexity towards the vitreous body was noted. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral giant pars plana cysts which were managed conservatively.The multimodal imaging in our case is its distinguishing feature which can be used to help ensure accurate diagnosis when one is presented with an area of peripheral retina elevation.
