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

Retinal metastasis is an exceedingly rare manifestation of systemic cancer, accounting for less than 1% of ocular metastases. Lung adenocarcinoma is among the primary tumors that can metastasize to the retina, though such cases are seldom reported. We present a 70-year-old male with a history of lung adenocarcinoma who presented with a decline in vision in his left eye. Fundus examination revealed a large yellow-white lesion with hemorrhage in the macula and temporal retina. Multimodal imaging, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography (FA), confirmed the diagnosis of retinal metastasis. This case underscores the importance of considering retinal metastasis in cancer patients with visual disturbances. Early diagnosis through comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis.
