Factors correlated with the resolution of macular oedema after one dose injection of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide treatment in branch retinal vein occlusion.

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
objectiveTo investigate the predictive baseline factors for a successful outcome following one dose of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) in patients with macular oedema (ME) caused by branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
methodsThis retrospective study enrolled patients with ME (macular retinal thickness [MRT] ≥ 300 µm) due to BRVO who still had ME 3 months after grid laser photocoagulation. Patients were divided according to treatment into an IVTA group and a laser-only group. The resolution of ME was documented at months 3 and 6.
resultsA total of 154 eyes with ME were investigated: IVTA group (90 eyes) and laser-only group (64 eyes). Predictive factors for successful IVTA treatment were younger age, shorter duration of ME, initial onset ME, accompanied by serous retinal detachment, few concomitant systemic diseases and nonischaemic BRVO. A broken foveal capillary ring was related to a poor treatment outcome. Eyes with cystoid spaces in the outer plexiform layer were more likely to have a good treatment response.
conclusionIVTA is effective for resolving ME due to BRVO after grid laser photocoagulation treatment.
