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

Purpose: To report a case of idiopathic acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy (AEPVM), assessed with comprehensive multimodal imaging, with a 2-year follow-up. Methods: Observational case report and literature review. Results: A 43-year-old female presented with acute bilateral vision decrease. Funduscopy revealed multiple bilateral round yellowish lesions with a foveal vitelliform-like deposit. Lesions were both hyper- and hypoautofluorescent. They were hyperfluorescent on fluorescein angiography and hypofluorescent on indocyanine green angiography. Swept-source optical coherence tomography demonstrated bilateral macular thickening with subfoveal fluid and hyperreflective bleb-like deposits associated with photoreceptor outer segment shedding and ellipsoid thickening. Electrooculogram revealed an impaired retinal pigment epithelium function. An extensive workup excluded autoimmune, infectious, and malignant causes, supporting the diagnosis of idiopathic AEPVM. The patient was monitored closely without treatment and showed significant anatomical and visual improvement over 2 years. Conclusions: AEPVM is a rare acute disease with characteristic imaging findings. Despite the similarities with vitelliform macular dystrophies, family history and genetic workup are typically negative. Most cases resolve spontaneously, but recurrences may occur.
