Drusen-Like Deposit Choroidopathy in Systemic Lupus Without Glomerulonephritis Treated With a Dexamethasone Implant.
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
We report a case of a 54-year-old woman referred to our clinic with a prior diagnosis of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and who had received three intravitreal aflibercept injections in the left eye (LE). Fundus examination revealed bilateral drusen-like deposits (DLDs) in the posterior pole, along with macular edema in the LE. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated subretinal fluid, retinal pigment epithelium detachment (PED) in the LE, and bilateral DLDs and increased choroidal thickness. These findings raised suspicion of an inflammatory condition, prompting laboratory evaluation that supported the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The ocular findings were subsequently reclassified as inflammatory choroiditis associated with DLDs, without evidence of lupus nephritis. Treatment with systemic corticosteroids, mycophenolate mofetil, and dexamethasone intravitreal implant in the LE resulted in progressive clinical improvement.
