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

purposeTo clarify the clinical features including multimodal imaging of primary choroidal lymphoma. STUDY

designRetrospective, observational case series

methodsSix consecutive patients with primary choroidal lymphoma diagnosed at Tokyo Medical University Hospital were studied. Demographic profile, clinical features and multimodal imaging were reviewed retrospectively.

resultsThe patients comprised 3 men and 3 women with average age of 68.2 ± 12.4 years. Clinical diagnosis before referring to our hospital included Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, posterior scleritis, and choroidal hemangioma, and no patients had been diagnosed with choroidal lymphoma. Average duration from onset of ocular symptoms to establishing a diagnosis was 14.2 months. Ocular fundus examination revealed yellowish orange nummular infiltration in all six cases, and granular pigment deposits at the posterior pole in four cases. Optical coherence tomography showed increased choroidal thickness and waving of the retinal pigment epithelium in all cases. Ultrasonography depicted choroidal thickening and extraocular nodular lesions adjacent to the posterior sclera in all cases. None of the cases showed elevated interleukin-10 in the aqueous humor. Ocular fundus manifestations and visual acuity improved after external beam radiation therapy, except one case with bullous retinal detachment from the initial visit.

conclusionsCharacteristic ocular fundus manifestation together with multimodal imaging findings are useful for the clinical diagnosis of primary choroidal lymphoma.
