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: We report a patient with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) with angioid streaks near a scleral buckle site. Observations: A 46-year-old male with PXE presented for evaluation of blurry vision and was found to have classic PXE findings in both eyes and angioid streaks adjacent to the site of a scleral buckle in his left eye. He underwent multimodal imaging, genetic testing, and intravitreal aflibercept in the right eye. Conclusions and importance: Bruch's membrane is known to be fragile in PXE, and patients are often counseled about the heightened risk of playing contact sports. This report raises the question of whether tension from a scleral buckle in the setting of a calcified and brittle BM may increase the likelihood of angioid streaks near the buckle site. In the setting of retinal detachment, it may be worthwhile to carefully weigh the pros and cons of vitrectomy versus buckle for PXE patients.
