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

Introduction: The aim of this study was to report the cases of 6 patients with the coexistence of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and choroidal nevi. Case Presentation: Six patients with the coexistence of PCV and choroidal nevi were thoroughly evaluated by slit-lamp biomicroscopy examination, color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography (OCT-A), fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICG-A), fundus blue autofluorescence (BAF), and ocular ultrasound (OU). The typical features of PCV and nevi were present in all patients, three of whom were treated with intravitreal anti-angiogenic agents. In each clinical case, the choroidal Haller's vessels adjacent to the nevus were visibly more dilated compared to normal. Color fundus photography, OCT, OCT-A, FA, ICG-A, BAF, and OU revealed similar findings across all cases. Observations revealed that choroidal nevi could instigate modifications in the outer retina, resulting in persistent alterations capable of triggering the formation of neovascularization. Conclusion: The occurrence of a PCV alongside nevus is an uncommon complication. Findings from all exams performed were consistent across all cases, highlighting the potential link between PCV and nevi.
