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

Indolent nonprogressive multifocal choroidal lesions are rare benign lymphoid infiltrative disorders confined to the choroid. A 53-year-old asymptomatic man was incidentally found to have a hyperdense lesion adjacent to the left optic nerve on head computed tomography. Fundus examination revealed multiple deep yellow-orange choroidal lesions bilaterally. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated late-phase staining in some lesions, whereas indocyanine green angiography showed more extensive hypofluorescent areas than were visible on color fundus imaging. Swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated multiple hyporeflective cavernous lesions within the choroid. Wide-field OCT angiography revealed patchy choroidal flow signal alterations with mild attenuation in the overlying choriocapillaris, without abnormalities in the retinal capillary plexuses. Wide-field multimodal imaging facilitated noninvasive characterization and longitudinal assessment of this rare condition, which is particularly important given the lack of established diagnostic criteria and the need for accurate differentiation from other choroidal diseases.
