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

aimSubthreshold lasers have gained popularity in the treatment of chorioretinopathy central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) and yellow (577 nm) lasers have completely revolutionized the treatment. However, there is very little literature regarding the use of a more common and conventional - green (532 nm) subthreshold laser for the treatment of chronic CSCR. We report the use of green (532 nm) laser for the treatment of chronic CSCR and its outcome.

methodsEyes with nonresolving CSCR were treated with green subthreshold laser and evaluated at the end of 5 months. Visual acuity, central macular thickness (CMT), and macular volume (MV) at baseline and at 5 months following treatment were evaluated.

resultsThirteen eyes with chronic CSCR were treated with green laser in SP-Mode™. The mean duration of CSCR was 7.64±3.77 months at the time of treatment. The median age of the patients was 41 (35-57) years. The baseline mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.96 logMAR ± 0.17, with mean baseline CMT of 503.8 μm ± 181.9 and MV of 12.8 mm

conclusionSubthreshold green laser (532 nm) is a safe and effective modality for the treatment of chronic CSCR with very good and stable outcomes. It may also be beneficial in the treatment of PEDs.
