[Retinal vein occlusion: Therapy of retinal vein occlusion].
Review in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Treatment of retinal vein occlusion can be systemic or local. Therapeutic strategies include improved blood supply, treatment of the vision-reducing macular edema by intravitreal injection of inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) or corticosteroids and laser photocoagulation for neovascular complications. As long as head-to-head studies comparing steroids and VEGF inhibitors have not been published, none of the available intravitreally injected substances can be given priority. Well-known side effects of intravitreal steroids are cataract formation and ocular hypertension whereas VEGF inhibitors need to be frequently injected. Although therapy for retinal vein occlusion is protracted, initial long-term data indicate that treatment can be terminated in at least half of the patients . Finally, a treatment recommendation according to the current state of data is presented.
