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

Background: Retinoschisis is characterized by separation of the neurosensory retina into two layers. The traditional pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and macular buckling has been shown to resolve retinoschisis. We report a case of unknown cause of retinoschisis in a young adult. Case presentation: A 24-year-old man presented with an 18-day history of metamorphopsia and blurred vision in his left eye. Optical coherence tomography revealed retinoschisis in the macula, the temporal side of the macula, and near the superior and inferior vascular arches. The patient was treated with oral corticosteroids. His clinical characteristics and status of retinoschisis were monitored at each visit. The retinoschisis initially became aggravated; however, it had completely resolved by the 40-day follow-up visit. Conclusion: Clinicians should be aware that, for patients with clinically identified posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) without vitreomacular traction (VMT), follow-up observation or empirical treatment with glucocorticoids can be considered to observe the disease outcome.
