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

Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common intraocular malignancy in children, and patients with family history of retinoblastoma are at high risk of disease. While intensive screening programs have led to earlier diagnosis and higher rates of globe salvage, visual outcomes have not improved. Handheld optical coherence tomography (HH-OCT) is a non-invasive imaging modality that can be utilized for screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of Familial RB. We present a case of a patient who was found to have bilateral Familial RB with HH-OCT after having a normal fundoscopic exam. This case demonstrates the utility of HH-OCT imaging and suggests that further research is needed to see whether screening guidelines should require OCT imaging during screening.
