Asymmetrical Macular Thinning on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in Pigmented Paravenous Retinochoroidal Atrophy.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy (PPRCA) is a rare, typically non-progressive retinal disorder characterized by perivenous atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris, with macular involvement being uncommon. This report aims to highlight a novel manifestation of asymmetrical macular thinning in PPRCA. A 40-year-old man presented with bilateral, gradual visual decline. Fundus examination revealed perivenous retinochoroidal atrophy with pigmentation along the arcades in both eyes and notable macular changes. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated bilateral central retinal thinning, most marked in the temporal parafovea, with attenuation of both inner and outer retinal layers and preservation of the foveal depression. Fundus autofluorescence showed corresponding areas of hypoautofluorescence, while systemic evaluation excluded infectious and inflammatory causes. This case, to our knowledge, represents the first description of asymmetrical macular thinning in PPRCA, broadening the recognized spectrum of its macular involvement and emphasizing the diagnostic value of OCT in differentiating PPRCA from inflammatory and inherited retinal disorders.
