Occlusive retinal vasculopathy on ultrawide-field fluorescein angiography in intraocular cytomegalovirus infection: a case series.
Article in Journal of ophthalmic inflammation and infection, 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
purposeTo describe ultrawide-field fluorescein angiographic features of extensive retinal capillary non-perfusion in eyes with intraocular cytomegalovirus infection.
methodsRetrospective, single-centre observational study.
resultsFive patients (six eyes) with intraocular CMV infection were included (mean age 62 years; range 20-84). All eyes showed widespread retinal haemorrhages without features of classical oedematous/haemorrhagic necrotising cytomegalovirus retinitis. In eyes with retinitis, the lesions showed a granular phenotype.Three eyes presented with hypertensive uveitis and raised intraocular pressure without neovascularisation. Ultrawide-field fluorescein angiography demonstrated extensive capillary non-perfusion involving both arterioles and venules, reflecting a predominantly occlusive vasculopathy. Vitreous haemorrhage occurred in three eyes, and one progressed to phthisis bulbi despite virological control. Predisposing factors included haematological malignancy, severe malnutrition, local corticosteroid implantation, diabetes with preceding shingles, and systemic immunomodulatory therapy. All the patients received systemic and intravitreal anti viral treatment and were additionally treated for the raised intraocular pressure and respective complications secondary to retinal ischemia.
conclusionIntraocular cytomegalovirus infection in non-human-immunodeficiency-virus patients may present as hypertensive uveitis with an occlusive pan-retinal vasculopathy, with or without retinitis, best recognised on ultrawide-field fluorescein angiography. Antiviral therapy and laser may achieve initial control but are insufficient alone; long-term monitoring and patient counselling are essential to address recurrent haemorrhage and neovascular glaucoma.
