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

Bilateral congenital macular coloboma is a rare condition, with only a few cases documented in the literature. We report a case of a 62-year-old woman who presented to Quzhou People's Hospital in January 2022 with complaints of dryness and foreign body sensation in both eyes, along with a history of lifelong poor vision. Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/500 in the right eye and 20/400 in the left eye, with a spherical equivalent refractive error of -9.0 diopters bilaterally. Anterior segment examination was unremarkable; however, fundus examination revealed well-demarcated chorioretinal atrophic lesions approximately four disc diameters in size at the macula of both eyes. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated a large excavation involving the retinal and choroidal layers beneath the fovea, consistent with a diagnosis of bilateral congenital macular coloboma. The patient was treated with sodium hyaluronate eye drops for dry eye symptoms, while the coloboma itself required no intervention. In patients with unexplained visual impairment, thorough fundus examination and high-resolution OCT imaging are essential for accurate diagnosis.
