Retrograde Maculopathy or Microcystic Macular Degeneration in Patients With Optic Neuritis due to Neuromyelitis Optica.
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 1 paper.
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
Purpose: The aim of this study is to highlight findings of retrograde maculopathy (RM) on optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a sequela of neuromyelitis optica associated optic neuropathy. Observations: We report two patients with demyelinating lesions involving the visual pathways due to neuromyelitis optica in whom RM was seen, and in whom the location of the RM corresponded to their visual deficits. In one case, we describe a patient who had a demyelinating chiasmal lesion with bitemporal hemianopia and who had corresponding binasal RM. In another case, we describe a patient who had generalized vision loss in the right eye and who had corresponding diffuse RM in the right macula. Conclusions and Importance: RM is a potential sequela of severe optic neuropathy in neuromyelitis optica and topographically corresponds to severe visual field defects, as well as severe ganglion cell complex loss. Providers should recognize this finding and be aware that they do not need to pursue diagnostic evaluation due to concern for primary macular disease.
