Sustained and targeted episcleral delivery of celecoxib in a rabbit model of retinal and choroidal neovascularization.
Article in International journal of retina and vitreous, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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
Background: To evaluate the efficacy of selective episcleral delivery of celecoxib formulated in a sustained-release episcleral exoplant on a model of retinal and choroidal neovascularization induced in rabbits by subretinal injection of matrigel combined with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Methods: Nine New Zealand white rabbits were randomly assigned to three groups (episcleral celecoxib exoplant, intravitreal bevacizumab injection and control group). The bFGF was mixed with matrigel at a concentration of 10 ug/0.1 mL, and VEGF was mixed with matrigel at a concentration of 2 ug/0.1 mL. Animals assigned to celecoxib or intravitreal bevacizumab groups were treated within 03 days from matrigel injection. Fluorescein angiography (FA) and electroretinography (ERG) were performed 5 days, 2, 4 and 8 weeks after matrigel injection. Persistence or regression of three clinical features (subretinal hyperfluorescence, retinal vascular tortuosity and retinal fibrotic spots) was independently evaluated in each study group at all follow-up periods. Statistical analysis using Fisher's exact test was performed to compare the frequency of findings at each time point between treated groups and control. Results: In all study eyes, matrigel induced the appearance of subretinal blebs and the development of retinal and subretinal neovascularization characterized by progressive and late hyperfluorescence on FA. Persistence of subretinal hyperfluorescence was higher in non-treated (control) animals compared to celecoxib ( Conclusion: In this rabbit model of retinal and subretinal neovascularization, episcleral celecoxib delivery was demonstrated to significantly inhibit neovascularization. It was also noticed, although not statistically significant, an apparent effect of episcleral celecoxib on preventing tractional retinal detachment secondary to epiretinal fibrovascular proliferation. The transscleral delivery of celecoxib combined with sustained-release strategy may have impact in the treatment of retinal and choroidal proliferative diseases.
