The first retinoblastoma local experience in Kuwait: A retrospective case series.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: To report the first series of retinoblastoma (RB) cases that were managed locally in Kuwait by the retinoblastoma team that was established during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: Six cases with RB were included in this study. The ages ranged from 3 months to 2 years with a male to female ratio of 2:1. All cases presented with an abnormal pupillary reflex with or without strabismus. Examination findings mostly showed leukocoria and an intra-retinal mass with calcification with or without vitreous seeding. Most cases were unilateral except for one case, which had bilateral RB. International classification of RB staging ranged from group B to E. Multidisciplinary approach was followed to manage these cases by applying a well-set protocol created by the RB team. Each case was treated according to grade at presentation. Conclusion: COVID-19 pandemic revolutionized the standard of care for RB in Kuwait and mandated the establishment of a multidisciplinary team to follow a standardized protocol to manage RB cases successfully.
