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

Diabetic macular edema (DME) remains an important worldwide cause of visual loss. Corticosteroids have a role in the treatment of some patients with advanced or recurrent DME. The best studied steroids for this indication are triamcinolone acetonide, dexamethasone, and fluocinolone acetonide. All steroids are associated with risks of cataract and intraocular pressure elevation. In addition, intravitreal injection of any medication is associated with risks of infectious endophthalmitis, which has led to the investigation of various extended-release steroid implants. At this time, no steroid is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of DME.
