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 analyze the long-term efficacy of 577 nm sub-threshold micropulse yellow laser (SMYL) in the treatment of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CCSC) and to evaluate the anatomic outcome, visual results and safety profile of the treatment.Patients and methodsThis prospective study assessed 39 eyes of 39 patients with non-resolving CCSC lasting more than three months. All eyes were treated by using 577 nm SMYL system with 5% duty cycle (DC) and each patients was monitored monthly. The main outcome measures were best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity (CS) and subretinal fluid (SRF) height, central macular thickness (CMT), central macular volume (CMV), total macular volume (TMV), and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).ResultsThe median follow-up time period was 17.82±0.42 (13-23 months) months. The BCVA was improved significantly at final follow-up in comparison of baseline visit (P<0.01) in 35 eyes (89.7%) and in 4 eyes (10.3%) was stable. The median CMT, CMV, TMV before treatment was 369 μm, 0.30 mm
