Multimodal Imaging, Including Laser Speckle Flowgraphy: A Case of Retinal Metastasis.
Article in Cancer diagnosis & prognosis. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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/Aim: Intraocular metastases of systemic cancer are most frequently located in the choroid, followed by the iris and ciliary body, while retinal metastases are extremely rare. Here we present a case of retinal metastasis and analyze multimodal imaging. Case Report: A 66-year-old woman with a medical history of breast cancer 5 years earlier was referred to our Department struggling with blurry vision in her right eye. At initial examination, her best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.0 oculus dexter (OD). Fundus examination revealed a yellowish elevated lesion with irregular surface, measuring 2 papillary diameters, along with serous retinal detachment (SRD) on the temporal side of the optic disc. Optical coherence tomography showed SRD with an isointense nodule extending across all retinal layers. Fluorescein angiography showed hyperfluorescence and vigorous fluorescence leakage inside the tumor in the early and late phases, respectively. Indocyanine green angiography depicted feeder and drainage vessels within the mass. Laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) showed a cold signal inside the tumor. Based on these clinical findings, the mass was diagnosed as a retinal metastasis. Eight days after the initial visit, the patient underwent external beam radiation to the right eye. One month after the initial diagnosis, her BCVA was 0.7 OD, the tumor was localized, and SRD had decreased. LSFG indicated vascular remodeling with marginally warmer signals in the tumor. Conclusion: LSFG of the retinal metastasis showed a cold signal, suggesting low tumor blood flow velocity and that the tumor may have grown slowly. LSFG findings are likely to play a supportive role in clinical diagnosis and contribute to better understanding of pathogenesis in juxtapapillary tumors.
