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

purposeTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of selective retina therapy (SRT) with real-time feedback-controlled dosimetry (RFD) in the treatment of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

methodsIn this retrospective case series study, 50 eyes of 49 patients with chronic CSC demonstrating focal or diffuse foveal leakages on fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) were included. Following evaluation of test spots at temporal arcades, SRT (wavelength 527 nm, pulse repetition rate 100 Hz, pulse energy ramp with maximal 15 pulses) with retinal spot diameter of 200 μm was applied to the areas of each leakage observed on fluorescein angiography. Changes in mean best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), maximum macular thickness (MMT), subretinal fluid (SRF) height, and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT) were evaluated at 1, 2 and 3 months after treatment. RFD was used for adjusting the pulse energy. Eyes received a mean of 21.1 ± 18.1 treatment spots with a range of energies between 50uJ and 200uJ per pulse.

resultsSubretinal fluid (SRF) was completely resolved in 74% (37/50 eyes) at month 3. Mean BCVA (LogMAR) was improved from 0.44 ± 0.29 at baseline to 0.37 ± 0.32 at month 3 (p = 0.001). MMT was decreased from 335.0 ± 99.8 μm at baseline to 236.4 ± 66.4 μm after 3 months (p < 0.001). SRF height was decreased from 168.0 ± 77.3 μm at baseline to 29.0 ± 57.3 μm after 3 months (p < 0.001). However, the changes in SCT were not statistically significant (p = 0.48).

conclusionsSRT treatment with RFD showed favorable visual and anatomical outcomes in patients with chronic CSC.
