Fluorescein angiography versus optical coherence tomography-guided planning for macular laser photocoagulation in diabetic macular edema.
Trial report in Retina (Philadelphia, Pa.), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purposeTo compare laser photocoagulation plans for diabetic macular edema (DME) using fluorescein angiography (FA) versus optical coherence tomography (OCT) thickness map superimposed on the retina.
methodsFourteen eyes with DME undergoing navigated laser photocoagulation with navigated photocoagulator had FA taken using the same instrument. Optical coherence tomography central retinal thickness map was imported to the photocoagulator and with same magnification aligned onto the retina. Three retina specialists placed laser spot marks separately on FA and OCT image in a masked fashion. The spots placed by each physician were compared between FA and OCT and among physicians. The area of dye leakage on FA and increased central retinal thickness on OCT of the same eye were also compared.
resultsThe average number of spots using FA and OCT template was 36.64 and 40.61, respectively (P = 0.0201). The average area of dye leakage was 7.45 mm, whereas the average area of increased central retinal thickness on OCT of the same eye was 10.92 mm (P = 0.013).
conclusionThere is variability in the treatment planning for macular photocoagulation with a tendency to place more spots when guided by OCT than by FA. Integration of OCT map aligned to the retina may have an impact on treatment plan once such information is available.
