Unilateral Retinitis Pigmentosa, Glial Tissue Abnormality, and Microphthalmia in a Young Female Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
This report presents a case of unilateral retinitis pigmentosa (URP) with associated symptoms and microphthalmia in the right eye of a young female patient. A 23-year-old with a previous diagnosis of URP and a constricted visual field in one eye was examined. Slit lamp examination of the right eye revealed a moderate posterior subcapsular and mild nuclear sclerotic cataract, with a clear lens in the left eye. Funduscopic examination of the right eye showed diffuse retinal pigmentary epithelium atrophy with peripheral bone spicule pigmentation, cystoid macular edema, and glial clusters protruding from the optic nerve. Left eye fundoscopy revealed unremarkable retinal findings. Fundus autofluorescence, optical coherence tomography, Humphrey visual field, and full-field electroretinogram testing indicated compatible results with our funduscopic findings of URP. Axial length (AL) measurements and anterior chamber angle assessment by gonioscopy suggested microphthalmia of the right globe. The left eye was shorter than average but within normal limits. Salivary genetic testing revealed genetically sensitized retinae carrying heterozygous variants in the INPP5E, FSCN2, RP1L1, and WFS1 genes. The patient is a carrier of a pathogenic variant of INPP5E, while the significance of the other identified variants is uncertain. This case report showcases the unique presentation of URP, glial tissue abnormality, and microphthalmia, suggesting a potentially shared genetic link between retinal pigmentary degeneration and malformation of other ocular structures. Further study is required to understand any shared genetic and/or proteomic etiology. These discoveries may aid in possible future treatment modalities for retinal cilioretinopathy disease and related disorders.
