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

Selective retina therapy (SRT) is currently under evaluation, as a new and very subtle laser method, for the treatment of retinal disorders associated with a degradation of the retinal pigmentary epithelium (RPE). SRT makes it possible to selectively effect the RPE, sparing the adjacent neural retina with the photoreceptors and also the choroid below the RPE. In the best case, the therapy leads to regeneration of the RPE and a long-term metabolic increase at the chorio-retinal junction. In contrast to conventional laser photocoagulation, which is associated with complete thermal necrosis of and around the treated site, absolutely no scotoma occurs in SRT. This paper reviews the methods and mechanisms behind the selective effects of the RPE. In vitro and preclinical results are used to describe the bandwidth of selective effects with respect to different irradiation settings. An optoacoustic technique is introduced to visualize effects that cannot be seen by ophthalmoscopy and to facilitate dosimetry control without recourse to angiography completes the report.
