Peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures with cystoid macular edema: a case report.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 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
backgroundPeripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) are newly characterized lesions wedged around the optic discs, which used to be misdiagnosed. Better understanding and identifying PHOMS are important for monitoring the condition of optic nerve. CASE PRESENTATION: A young female presented to the ophthalmic clinic with blurred vision of both eyes. Protrusions resembling "C-shaped donut" were found circling the optic discs bilaterally. These lesions were homogenous hyperreflective on OCT, while they were also hypoautofluorescent and hypoechogenic. Meanwhile, cystoid macular edema (CME) was also identified in both eyes. The patient was then diagnosed as PHOMS with CME. A short-term glucocorticoids therapy was prescribed systemically. The logMAR best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of both eyes reached 0.0 in 4 months with recovery of CME, while the PHOMS remained.
conclusionsThere is currently no report on PHOMS with CME. More attentions should be paid to PHOMS, for they are potential biomarkers for axoplasmic stasis involved in different diseases of the optic nerve.
