A 3-YEAR-OLD PEDIATRIC CASE OF TORPEDO MACULOPATHY ASSOCIATED WITH A SEROUS RETINAL DETACHMENT.
Article in Retinal cases & brief reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo report an atypical retinal finding of torpedo maculopathy in a 3-year-old boy.
methodA retrospective case report.
resultsOptical coherence tomography examination of the retinal lesion showed a hyper-reflectivity of the outer layers associated with a serous retinal detachment with an extension of the outer segments of the photoreceptors. Furthermore, the external limiting membrane and the retinal pigment epithelium are intact. Although the reflectance of the ellipsoid zone seems diminished, no disruptions were observed, suggesting that the ellipsoid zone is likely undamaged.
conclusionThis maculopathy is predominantly associated with a serous retinal detachment, rather than the tissue atrophy typically described in types 1, 2, 3, and 4. This association has already been described but is not included in current classifications. We propose to potentially add a "with subretinal fluid" stage to the current classifications.
