A Case Report of Choroidal Neovascularization Secondary to Angioid Streaks Associated With Beta Thalassemia.

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
A 58-year-old Malay male with underlying beta thalassemia presented with distorted vision in the right eye for two weeks. On presentation, his visual acuity (VA) was 6/18 OD (right eye) and 6/9 OS (left eye). Fundus examination of the right eye revealed a pink optic disc with peripapillary atrophy and numerous narrow, irregular streaks radiating in a circumferential pattern, along with macular scarring and pigment deposition. The patient was ametropic, with a right eye axial length of 24.72 mm. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the macula of the right eye showed subretinal and intraretinal cystic fluid with subretinal fibrosis. Fundus fluorescein angiography demonstrated leakage at 44 seconds, increasing in intensity and size in the early venous phase. The patient was diagnosed with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to angioid streaks. He was treated with intravitreal ranibizumab, receiving a monthly loading dose for three months, followed by a treat-and-extend regimen up to 16-week intervals. The patient's symptoms resolved after the first injection, and follow-up OCT showed sustained resolution of fluid. Final VA remained 6/18 OD and 6/9 OS, with symptomatic improvement and stability of the condition.
