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

purposeTo report a case of non-hereditary bilateral foveomacular and peripheral retinoschisis in a young female, with electrophysiological abnormalities in the absence of high myopia.

methodsA 25-year-old female with recent-onset diminution of vision in the left eye (LE) underwent comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit lamp biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT), full field electroretinography (ERG) and genetic evaluation.

resultsBCVA at presentation was 6/6, N6 in the right eye(RE) and 6/9, N8 in the LE. The patient had a prior history of laser refractive surgery for moderate myopia. Anterior segment examination was unremarkable. Fundus evaluation revealed bilateral foveoschisis and peripheral retinal schisis. OCT showed retinoschisis predominantly involving outer plexiform and outer nuclear layer, along with mild vitreoschisis. Foveal detachment was noted in the LE. ERG demonstrated rod and cone system dysfunction, severe rod bipolar cell dysfunction in both eyes, and a borderline electronegative waveform in the LE. There was no family history, and clinical exome sequencing did not reveal any pathogenic variants associated with the phenotype.

conclusionElectrophysiological abnormalities with bipolar cell dysfunction, similar to those seen in hereditary retinoschisis, can also occur in non-hereditary retinoschisis. Genetic evaluation is recommended to differentiate between the two, as ERG may show abnormalities in both.
