Multiple Bilateral Retinal Pigment Epithelial Detachments in a Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Case Report.

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 a case of multiple bilateral retinal pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs) in a woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods: Case Report. Results: A 28-year-old female with mild blurred bilateral vision in both eyes (OU) without pain or any other symptom was admitted to the hospital due to worsening renal function and uncontrolled high blood pressure (HBP). Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/30 and 20/40, right and left eyes, respectively. She had SLE, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, and immune thrombocytopenic purpura. BP was over 150/90 mmHg for more than 1.5 years, and she used corticosteroids at varying doses for more than 4 years. During hospitalization, she was taking prednisone 60 mg daily as Class IV lupus nephritis was diagnosed. On fundoscopy, she had a lacy retinal pattern, remarkably on the macula in OU. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography revealed multiple bilateral serous PEDs and pachychoroid. Angiofluoresceinography displayed multiple pooling hyperfluorescence areas. Six months afterward, while she was on prednisolone 10 mg daily, and antihypertensive medications, BCVA was improved to 20/25 OU. Nevertheless, she had no retinal or choroidal changes. Her findings could be related to SLE choroidopathy, central serous chorioretinopathy-like disease, and/or hypertensive choroidopathy. Conclusions: Ocular involvement affects nearly one-third of SLE patients. The findings are variable and can include nearly any part of the eyeball. Multiple bilateral PEDs have been described in the literature; however, in this case, it is probably multifactorial and not only related to SLE.
