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

We report the case of a 57-year-old female patient who presented with defective vision in the right eye due to large hemorrhagic pigment epithelial detachment with subretinal hemorrhage near the arcades with scattered retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) alteration at the macula and minimal vitreous hemorrhage inferiorly. The left eye showed right angle perifoveal dipping venule with RPE alteration temporal to the fovea, intraretinal RPE stellate plaque at the macula area. Multimodal imaging features including color fundus photo, red-free photograph, optical coherence tomography (OCT), enhanced depth imaging OCT, fundus fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, and OCT angiography were studied along with treatment response. One eye showed features of macular telangiectasia Type 2 (MacTel 2) with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) (hemorrhagic type) and the other eye showed features of MacTel 2 with pachychoroid pigment epitheliopathy. This report highlights the hitherto undescribed co-occurrence of MacTel 2 with bilateral pachychoroid and with unilateral hemorrhagic PCV in one eye and its favorable outcome with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy.
