Gender differences in central serous chorioretinopathy based on the new multimodal imaging classification.

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
purposeTo analyse the gender-specific differences in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) based on a new multimodal imaging classification system.
methodThis was a retrospective, multicentric, longitudinal, observational study in patients with a diagnosis of unilateral or bilateral CSCR. Visual acuity outcomes and differences based on 'Simple' and 'Complex' CSCR were analysed. The occurrence of choroidal neovascularization (CNVM) and number of recurrences were also compared. Regression analysis was used to evaluate baseline predictors of final visual acuity.
resultsThe study included 109 eyes of 58 patients (55 eyes of 28 female patients and 54 eyes of 30 male patients). Simple CSCR was seen in 8 (14.8%) eyes and 21 (38.2%) eyes in male and female groups respectively, while complex CSCR was seen in 46 (85.2%) eyes and 34 (61.8%) eyes in male and female groups respectively (p = 0.005). Recurrence was more commonly seen in males (34 eyes) than in females (23 eyes) (p = 0.03). Males (96.7%) were also significantly more likely to have a bilateral presentation (78.6% in females) (p = 0.03). Conversely, CNVM was more commonly seen in female eyes (8 eyes) than male eyes (4 eyes) (p = 0.23). On multivariable regression analysis, factors affecting reduced need for treatment were history of steroid use, good visual acuity at baseline, and simple CSCR. Factors affecting good final visual acuity were history of steroid use, good visual acuity at baseline, and younger age.
conclusionMales tended to have complex CSCR and recurrence compared to the female sub-group, while females exhibited CNVM more commonly than males.
