Multimodal imaging in a case of presumed secondary vitreoretinal lymphoma presenting with inner retina and optic nerve head infiltration.

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
Purpose: To report the findings supported by multimodal imaging in a case of secondary vitreoretinal lymphoma presenting with inner retina and optic nerve head infiltration. Observations: A 64-year-old man with systemic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presented with reduced visual acuity. Moderate anterior chamber and vitreous cell were present. Fundus exam showed bilateral disc edema and diffuse opaque macular infiltrates with a pseudo cherry-red spot in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography showed inner retinal infiltration and loss of normal architecture. Surgery for tissue biopsy was discussed and declined due to risk. Instead, multimodal imaging and anterior chamber fluid sampling were used as a surrogate for tissue biopsy and helped rule out infectious uveitis and retinal vascular disease. The patient was empirically treated with intravitreal methotrexate with rapid improvement in vision, exam, and quality of life. Conclusions and importance: Multimodal imaging can support a presumed diagnosis of secondary vitreoretinal lymphoma in order to proceed with intravitreal methotrexate treatment, which can result in rapid clinical and visual improvement.
