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 demonstrate the safety and efficacy of partial thickness sclerectomies to treat exudative retinal detachment secondary to choroidal hemangioma, non-suitable with photodynamic therapy in a 5-year-old child with Sturge-Weber syndrome.

methodsA 5 year-old child presented exudative retinal detachment secondary to choroidal subfoveal diffuse hemangioma. The child was non-compliant to undergo a photodynamic therapy. A partial thickness sclerectomy was made in each quadrant under general anesthesia.

resultsThe retina was re-attached with improvement in vision from 20/400 to 20/80. Two years after primary surgery, the retinal detachment relapsed. Drainage of the subretinal fluid was obtained by the revision of the sclerectomies. After obtaining retinal reattachment, photodynamic therapy was applied to treat the hemangioma. No complications were reported after treatment.

conclusionSclerectomies may be considered an efficient and safe surgical option for the management of exudative retinal detachment secondary to choroidal hemangioma in patients non-suitable for photodynamic therapy, waiting for photodynamic therapy to be practicable directly on the hemangioma.
