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

Purpose: To report a case of a patient that developed a choroidal granulomatous lesion secondary to disseminated Observations: A 60-year-old male with a history of multiple cardiothoracic surgeries complicated by disseminated MC was referred to retina clinic. On initial examination, bilateral choroidal lesions were noted consistent with MC choroiditis. These lesions were treated with systemic antimicrobials. Five months later, the patient was found to have a new choroidal lesion in his right eye concerning for a choroidal granuloma. Optical coherence tomography showed an elevated choroidal lesion with subretinal fluid. The granulomatous choroidal lesion regressed after starting systemic and local steroids. There was no recurrence of the granulomatous choroidal lesion at the most recent follow up visit. Conclusions and Importance: This is an extremely rare report of a patient who received successful treatment for a MC related choroidal granulomatous lesion with accompanying multimodal imaging. The report suggests that similar lesions can be treated with systemic and ocular steroid therapy in combination with systemic antimicrobials.
