Montage Error in Ultra-Widefield Imaging of Retinal Hemangioblastomas.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmological medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
A 20-year-old male presented with three large retinal hemangioblastomas in the left eye. At the 5-week follow-up, automated montage ultra-widefield imaging appeared to demonstrate a fourth lesion, suggesting possible disease progression. Clinical examination, however, confirmed the presence of only three tumors. Re-evaluation of the automated image stitching revealed misidentification of the optic nerve head in one of the source images, resulting in image misalignment and the false appearance of an additional lesion. Systemic evaluation demonstrated central nervous system hemangioblastomas and a renal cyst, and genetic testing confirmed von Hippel-Lindau disease. This case illustrates both the diagnostic utility and limitations of ultra-widefield montage imaging and highlights the importance of clinical verification of apparent lesion increase before concluding true progression.
