Progressive Changes in a Torpedo Maculopathy Lesion Over a 6-Year Period.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: To report the longitudinal changes on optical coherence tomography (OCT) in a patient with torpedo maculopathy (TM). Methods: Retrospective observational study. Results: A 37-year-old male, without any ocular symptoms, on dilated fundus examination showed a characteristic torpedo-shaped, flat, horizontally oriented, ovoid-shaped, hypopigmented chorioretinal lesion, temporal to the foveal center. At the most recent visit, after 6 years, the lesion exhibited changes on OCT, including the collapse of the subretinal cleft, the thinning of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layer and inner choroidal layers, and the increased visibility of the underlying choroid and inner retinal excavation. The fundus autofluorescence demonstrated an increase in hypoautofluorescence in the center of the torpedo lesion, which was surrounded by a hyperautofluorescent boundary. Conclusion: This appears to be the first report of longitudinal changes in a classic case of TM, demonstrating changes in the RPE, inner choroidal, and outer retinal layers over time.
