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.
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
Objective: The aim of this study is to report a case of bilateral foveal cysts in MPS I-H resolving with oral acetazolamide and to highlight the diagnostic value of multimodal retinal imaging and electrophysiological testing. Introduction: Hurler syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis Type I-H) is a lysosomal storage disorder that can cause progressive multisystem complications. Retinal involvement often mimics retinitis pigmentosa (RP), and pathology may progress even after early hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) due to limited enzyme penetration into ocular tissues. Case Summary: A 17-year-old female with MPS I-H, post-HSCT at 21 months, presented with bilateral visual decline despite a normal clinical fundus exam. Evaluation included spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT), fundus autofluorescence (FAF), multifocal electroretinography (mfERG), full-field ERG (ffERG), and visual evoked potential. SD-OCT revealed bilateral intraretinal foveal cysts without leakage on fluorescein angiography. FAF showed a bull's eye maculopathy pattern; mfERG showed bilateral macular dysfunction. ffERG revealed rod-cone dystrophy. Two 3-month courses of oral acetazolamide (125 mg three times daily) led to complete cyst resolution and visual improvement. Conclusion: This case supports the role of systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors in treating nonleaking macular cysts in MPS I, similar to RP-related cystoid macular pathologies, and highlights the value of integrating electrophysiological and multimodal imaging, especially in occult retinal disease.
