Observation of neovascularization of the disc associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy using OCT angiography.
Article in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
purposeTo describe the relationship between the vitreous and the neovascularization of the disc (NVD) using swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA). STUDY
designRetrospective.
methodsWe examined 17 eyes of 11 consecutive patients diagnosed as NVD associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). The location of the NVD feeder or collector vessels were examined by using RTVue XR Avanti. To determine the condition of the posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and the proliferative tissue of the NVD, we performed 12 mm horizontal and vertical scans through the disc using SS-OCT.
resultsOCT images of all 17 cases indicated there was no PVD on the optic disc. OCTA showed that the locations of the newly formed vessels from the optic disc were overwhelmingly outside the physiological cupping (95%). No cases exhibited formation of neovascularization inside the physiological cupping. OCT images revealed all 17 eyes had proliferative tissues located under the posterior wall of the vitreous, with 12 out of 17 eyes exhibiting additional invasion of the proliferative tissue into the vitreous through the posterior wall. Epiretinal membrane or a thickened posterior wall of the vitreous was present in 10 out of the 17 eyes.
conclusionsNVD associated with PDR arises from outside the physiological cupping and grows along the posterior wall of the vitreous. The absence of PVD on the optic disc is essential to the growth of NVD.
