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: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a chorioretinal disorder characterized by the accumulation of subretinal fluid and is often associated with corticosteroid exposure. While well-recognized in ophthalmology, awareness of CSC remains limited among musculoskeletal specialists, especially following intra-articular injection of the small joints of the upper extremity. Case Report: We report the case of a 58-year-old female treated for left thumb carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis. Following a second intra-articular injection of triamcinolone acetonide, she developed acute unilateral visual impairment. Ophthalmologic examination confirmed serous detachment of the neurosensory retina, leading to a diagnosis of CSC. The patient later revealed a history of a transient visual episode during a previous stressful period, suggesting a predisposition to the condition. The subretinal fluid resolved over 6 weeks with conservative management. Conclusion: This case highlights the systemic risks of local corticosteroid injections. Even small doses used in small joint osteoarthritis can precipitate CSC, particularly in susceptible individuals. Clinicians should recognize this potential complication to ensure prompt diagnosis and appropriate counseling.
