Case report: A rare appearance of preretinal deposits in a patient with uveitis: multimodal imaging observation.

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
Background: Uveitis is a disease presenting with varied clinical symptoms and potentially devastates visual function. Here, we report a patient with uveitis exhibiting a rare appearance of preretinal deposits (PDs). Case presentation: A 49-year-old female showed vitreous opacity and perivascular white PDs involving veins and arteries. The interferon-gamma release assay was strongly positive and chest computed tomography showed signs of calcified nodules; other tests were unremarkable. The patient was diagnosed with uveitis and tubercular infection. The patient was given systemic anti-tubercular therapy and steroids, which were subsequently combined with immunosuppressants. The shrinkage of HRD was more sensitively observed with OCT than on photographs during follow-up visits. The right eye was relieved subsequently, but the left eye showed vitreous opacity and responded poorly to the treatment. Three months after the dexamethasone intravitreal implant, the perivascular deposits in the left eye disappeared and the vitreous opacity was relieved. Conclusion: PDs can appear as spotted deposits in the posterior pole and segmental deposits in the periphery in patients with uveitis, which mainly involves the vitreous cavity and is easily confused with retinal vasculitis. OCT can more sensitively observe the response than other examinations.
