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

purposeThe objective is to differentiate choroidal metastases (CM) arising from various primary cancer sites based on clinical presentation and imaging. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective, observational study of 67 eyes (58 patients).

resultsThe mean age at presentation was 60 years (range, 29-83 years). At presentation, 37 patients (64%) with CM had a known primary systemic cancer, whereas in 21 patients (36%) CM was the first manifestation of systemic cancer. Overall, the primary cancer sites were lung (

conclusionAncillary imaging along with clinical presentation can provide clues to the origin of CM from various cancer sites, thereby aiding in the early diagnosis, staging, and treatment of primary cancer. CM from lung cancer is more likely to precede the diagnosis of a primary tumor than breast metastases.
