Retinal hamartomas at different stages in a patient with tuberous sclerosis: A OCT-SS description.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Retinal astrocytic hamartoma (RAH) is a benign glial tumor that may be present in patients with tuberous sclerosis (TS), contributing to the diagnosis of this syndrome. While hamartomas identified through indirect ophthalmoscopy are often large enough to affect vessels and optic disc anatomy, RAH not detected in previous fundoscopies may become apparent in optical coherence tomography (OCT). The purpose of this report was to describe and characterize RAH with OCT with swept-source technology (OCT-SS), aiming to establish a more comprehensive classification for these hamartomas due to their diverse presentations. Fundus examination of a 11-year-old girl revealed retinal tumors in both eyes. OCT-SS confirmed the diagnosis of TS, revealing dome-shaped hyperreflective masses at different stages of evolution. Lesion 1: maximum thickness (MT) of 336 μm and ganglion cell layer disorganization. Lesion 2: MT of 438 μm and preserved outer plexiform layer. Lesion 3: posterior shadow, MT of 1478 μm and complete rupture of retinal anatomy. Lesion 4: MT of 342 μm and preserved retinal anatomy. OCT is a noninvasive method which assists the diagnosis of subclinical lesions and clinical characterization of TS patients.
