[Therapy options for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy. Photodynamic therapy combined with bevacizumab - a case series].
Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThis article reports about the use of a combined photodynamic therapy (PDT) and intravitreal injection of bevacizumab as a treatment option in nine patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of nine male patients with chronic CSC were treated with standard PDT laser treatment with verteporfin and intravitreal injection of bevacizumab administered within 24 h. Before and 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment the results of visual acuity, fluorescein angiography (FA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examinations were documented.
resultsAll patients showed an improvement in visual acuity of 1-4 ETDRS lines. Mean visual acuity increased from baseline 20 / 40 to 20 / 25 after 3 months. FA and OCT findings showed a restitution of leakages and subretinal fluid in all cases. After 6-12 months follow-up 8 patients had ongoing improvement in vision without recurrence of CSC.
conclusionThe combination of PDT with bevacizumab in this case series appears to be an effective and safe therapy combination which is suitable as a therapeutic option for patients with chronic CCS without a tendency to recovery.
