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

Macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel type 2) is a bilateral, acquired macular disorder that typically manifests in middle-aged individuals. Circular, yellowish subretinal deposits distinguish a vitelliform lesion (VL) and are very rarely observed in conjunction with MacTel type 2. The presence of VL in cases of MacTel type 2 may further contribute to visual deterioration and lead to misdiagnosis. We report the case of a 54-year-old, otherwise healthy man with MacTel type 2 and unilateral VL, in whom the VL lesion progressed to macular atrophy during a three-year follow-up period.
