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
Introduction: Myopic macular pit (MMP) is a rare manifestation of pathologic myopia. Here, we report a case of MMP with optic disc-like features that posed a diagnostic challenge and was misinterpreted as duplication of the optic disc. Case presentation: A 69-year-old man with high myopia presented with visual impairment. Examination of his right eye revealed an axial length of 30.27 mm and best-corrected visual acuity of counting fingers at 10 cm. Fundus examination revealed a disc-sized pit within the macular atrophy, accompanied by radially oriented retinal and choroidal vessels. Owing to its disc-like appearance, the lesion was initially misdiagnosed as a duplication of the optic disc. Subsequent multimodal imaging established the correct diagnosis of MMP: orbital magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a single optic nerve, fundus fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography showed vascular filling consistent with short posterior ciliary arteries, and optical coherence tomography revealed chorioretinal atrophy and sharply curved scleral excavation. Conclusion: MMP should be differentiated from true and pseudoduplication of the optic disc. Multimodal imaging plays a pivotal role in resolving this diagnostic challenge.
