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: To report a case of Choroidal osteoma developing in a patient known to have punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) and to demonstrate the development and progression of the choroidal osteoma (CO) over fifteen years of follow-up. Methods: Retrospective case report and review of the literature. Results: A 44-year-old male who was diagnosed with PIC in both eyes, which was complicated with a choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) in the left eye, received systemic treatment, including oral prednisolone and mycophenolate mofetil to treat PIC, and intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors (Anti-VEGF). Over fifteen years, a progressively enlarging juxta-foveal choroidal osteoma developed, which was confirmed by B-scan ultrasonography and multimodal imaging. Conclusion: The diagnosis of choroidal osteoma in the setting of PIC can be diagnostically challenging, especially at early stages. As both conditions can lead to the development of CNVM, a high index of suspicion is needed to diagnose these cases.
