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

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to report a case of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) associated with a retinal tear overlying a choroidal nevus. Methods: This study is a case report. Results: A 66-year-old female patient has been referred to our department because of a retinal detachment in her left eye. Her ocular history was notable for a choroidal nevus in her left eye, which has been under observation for the past 11 years without any signs of malignancy or abnormal changes. Dilated funduscopic examination revealed a superior macula-off bullous RRD that originated from a retinal tear located at the previously observed choroidal nevus. The patient successfully underwent a 23-g vitrectomy and cryotherapy with SF6 gas tamponade, combined with cataract surgery and biopsy. Conclusion: While choroidal nevi are relatively prevalent, the specific progression to RRD due to a tear is a rare occurrence in clinical practice, and it presents with unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
