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

This report presents a unique case of a 77-year-old diabetic male patient with bilateral central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), who was receiving multiple bilateral intravitreal injections for a presumed diagnosis of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The fundus examination did not show any signs of AMD or diabetic retinopathy (DR). The spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed bilateral subretinal fluid. The neovascular membrane was not visible on OCT angiography. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) confirmed the absence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Notably, this represents a unique case of an elderly patient with CSCR mimicking occult CNV.
