Adult-Onset Coats Disease With Rapid Progression to Full-Thickness Macular Hole: A Case Report.
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 present an atypical case of adult-onset Coats disease in a 39-year-old woman with rapid progression and the development of a full-thickness macular hole despite multimodal non-surgical treatment. The patient presented to the emergency department with sudden deterioration of vision in the left eye lasting three days. Fundus examination revealed peripapillary hemorrhages, vitreous condensations, and focal exudation in the inferotemporal quadrant. Optical coherence tomography showed retinal thickening, intraretinal and subretinal fluid, and an epiretinal membrane. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated abnormal peripheral vessels with surrounding non-perfusion. The patient was treated with laser photocoagulation, intravitreal bevacizumab injections, and cryotherapy. Despite temporary stabilization, follow-up examinations showed progression of exudative and hemorrhagic changes, with subsequent formation of a full-thickness macular hole. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed. Postoperative optical coherence tomography confirmed closure of the macular hole. This case highlights that adult-onset Coats disease may present with an atypically aggressive course and that conservative treatment may be insufficient in selected adult patients.
