Unilateral choroidal metastases as an unusual presentation of small cell lung cancer.

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
The choroid, rich in vasculature, is a common site for ocular metastases, predominantly from breast and lung cancer. Unlike breast cancer, which may cause bilateral involvement, lung cancer typically leads to unilateral lesions. Adenocarcinoma is the primary lung cancer subtype associated with choroidal metastasis, while small cell lung cancer (SCLC) infrequently involves the choroid. In our case, a 69-year-old man with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease presented with right eye visual disturbances and was diagnosed with choroidal metastasis. Subsequent imaging revealed lung cancer with widespread metastasis. Despite treatment postponement due to deteriorating health, the patient's condition worsened, leading to palliative care discharge. Despite its rarity, choroidal involvement in SCLC warrants further investigation to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This case highlights the importance of meticulous evaluation and interdisciplinary care to optimize outcomes in patients with SCLC and choroidal metastasis.
