Incidental multiple myeloma in a patient with neuroretinitis: a case report.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 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
backgroundNeuroretinitis is classically defined as a clinical triad of unilateral, painless vision loss, accompanied by optic disc edema and characteristic macular star formation. The causes of neuroretinitis can be categorized as infectious, non-infectious, and idiopathic, therefore differential diagnosis and careful evaluation are required, owing to the various etiologies and masqueraders. CASE PRESENTATION: A 54-year-old woman presented to the clinic with blurred vision in both eyes. A complete ophthalmic examination revealed optic disc edema with blurred margins and macular exudates, intraretinal edema in the temporal peripapillary area, and subretinal fluid with neurosensory retinal detachment in the macular area. Systemic laboratory investigations showed no signs of infection or inflammation. However, bone marrow suppression was suspected based on the results of the complete blood count test, and the patient was diagnosed with multiple myeloma.
conclusionAlthough neuroretinitis is rarely accompanied by hematological malignancy, it is important to be mindful of the latter because ophthalmic manifestations are a common feature of hematological malignancies and lesions occur in nearly every ocular structure.
