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

Purpose: To report a case with branch retinal vein occlusion secondary to a retinal astrocytic hamartoma in a patient with tuberous sclerosis complex. Observations: A fourteen-year-old boy, a known case of tuberous sclerosis complex, with multiple bilateral retinal astrocytic hamartomas was followed by 6 months intervals. In his last follow-up, 6 months after initial presentation, the patient developed angiographic signs of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) in the superotemporal arcade of the right eye distal to one of the retinal astrocytic hamartomas. He underwent targeted retinal laser photocoagulation. No secondary complication related to BRVO was observed during the next six-month follow-up. Conclusion: And Importance: Although the co-occurrence of branch retinal vein occlusion and astrocytic hamartoma may represent an incidental finding, awareness of BRVO as a possible complication associated with retinal astrocytic hamartoma helps timely diagnosis and prompt treatment of this complication, improving the visual prognosis of these patients.
