Combined branch retinal vein and branch retinal artery occlusion - clinical features, systemic associations, and outcomes.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeRetinal vascular occlusions affecting both the arterial and venous systems are rare events. Combined branch retinal artery (BRAO) and vein (BRVO) occlusion are exceedingly rare and not well characterized.
methodsSix patients with combined BRAO and BRVO underwent a comprehensive eye examination, fundus fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography, and cardiovascular evaluation.
resultsMean age at presentation was 54 ± 7.8 years (range: 39-60), and five of the six were men. Patients had a combination of systemic comorbidities such as diabetes (5), hypertension (4), dyslipidemia (5), and hyperhomocysteinemia (1). All had unilateral combined occlusion characterized by narrowing and cattle tracking of blood in arteries and dilated tortuous veins in the involved quadrant. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated complete capillary drop out and a clear demarcation between the perfused and nonperfused retina. Presenting vision ranged from 6/9 to 1/60 Snellen's, and final vision depended on the macular perfusion status. All eyes were treated with angiography-guided sectoral laser photocoagulation, and three eyes required intravitreal bevacizumab due to macular edema or retinal neovascularization.
conclusionsCombined BRAO and BRVO is rare, may have unique underlying pathogenetic mechanisms, is associated with multiple systemic comorbidities and can yield good visual outcome if macula remains well perfused.
