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

Introduction: Adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy (AOFVD) is a rare entity and is mostly reported in French individuals. Here, we report a Chinese patient with AOFVD who had Case Presentation: A 59-year-old man complaining of vision loss was misdiagnosed with AMD and treated with intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor, but with no improvement. Visual acuity was 20/50 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left eye. Fundus examinations revealed a bilateral symmetrical vitelliform "egg yolk" lesion. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography revealed dome-shaped subretinal hyperreflective materials and cuticular drusen at the retinal pigment epithelium-Bruch's membrane complex in both eyes. No clear neovascularization was observed. Electrooculography revealed a decreased Arden ratio. Based on multimodal imaging analysis and genetic testing, the patient was diagnosed with AOFVD. No therapeutic intervention was administered. One month after the patient's visit, vitelliform "egg yolk" lesion was absorbed in the right eye, and the patient's visual acuity decreased to 20/100 in the right eye. Conclusion: AOFVD is rare and underdiagnosed. It can disguise as AMD or other similar macular diseases. Clinicians should be alert to this condition, pay attention to its identification, and avoid unnecessary treatments.
