Cancer-associated retinopathy as an initial presentation of gynecologic small-cell carcinoma.
Article in Taiwan journal of ophthalmology. 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 56-year-old female presented with bilateral progressive blurred vision over 1 month. She has no known malignancy before her initial visit to our ophthalmologic clinic. Her best-corrected visual acuity decreased to hand motion from 30 cm in both eyes. Optical coherence tomography exhibited parafoveal thinning of outer retinal layers bilaterally. Fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography disclosed hypofluorescent spots in late phase in both eyes. The suspicion of cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR) prompted us to investigate and refer for further systemic disease including occult malignancy. The patient was diagnosed with small-cell carcinoma of the endometrium or cervix, which is an extremely rare and aggressive neuroendocrine tumor. The patient was treated with oral prednisone with improved visual acuity. The patient expired from sepsis 2 months after her initial visit to our ophthalmologic clinic. In selected cases, CAR may present before the diagnosis of primary cancer. It is essential to recognize its ophthalmic manifestation for early discovery of primary malignancy.
