Best Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy Presenting with Choroidal Neovascular Membrane in an Adolescent: A Case Report and a Review of the Literature.
Article in Journal of the West African College of Surgeons. 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
An 11-year-old boy presented to the retina outpatient clinic with a -5-year history of poor vision in the left eye. The best corrected visual acuity at presentation was 6/5 and 6/36, respectively, in the right and left eyes. Ocular examination revealed normal anterior segments in both eyes. Binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy of the right eye revealed a pink disc with a cup disc ratio (CDR) of 0.3, normal vessels while the macula had a yellowish lesion with a scrambled egg appearance and surrounding dome-shaped subretinal fluid with a flat retina and no treatable peripheral retinal lesions. The left eye had a pink disc with CDR O.3, normal vessels with a hyperpigmented lesion at the macula surrounded by a small cuff of subretinal fluid with a flat retina and no treatable peripheral retinal lesions. Optical coherence tomography scan revealed subretinal fluid in both eyes with an active choroidal neovascular membrane in the left eye. He was advised on the need for left intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections.
