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
backgroundShallow subfoveal fluid accumulation after successful surgery for retinal detachment can be the reason for compromised visual acuity. To date, therapeutical options to tackle this problem have not been established. Selective retina therapy (SRT) is a new laser technology that uses a train of mus-laser pulses to selectively damage retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells while sparing retinal structures.
methodsWe treated three patients with chronic subfoveal fluid accumulation after retinal detachment surgery. The median period between retinal surgery and SRT treatment was 7 months. For SRT, we used a prototype frequency-doubled, Q-switched Nd:YLF laser (lambda = 527 nm). Each laser exposition contained 30 pulses (t = 1,7 micros, 100 Hz, E = 100-400 microJ). Two of the three patients were treated subfoveally. OCT III (optical coherence tomography) examinations were performed to evaluate changes in subretinal fluid accumulation.
resultsIn all three patients, we observed complete resolution of subfoveal fluid within 1-5 months. Follow-up has been 16 months to 2 years. Visual acuity improved in all patients. In one patient, cystoid macular edema developed 3 months after treatment. Additional SRT treatments were not necessary.
conclusionSRT is a safe treatment. Visual acuity improved after SRT, even in subfoveal irradiations. SRT is an option to support subretinal fluid reabsorption. In this situation where no other therapeutical options are established, SRT may be a beneficial treatment for chronic subfoveal fluid accumulation after retinal detachment surgery.
