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

introductionMacular edema after central retinal vein occlusion is a common cause of vision loss. Upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor and higher levels of inflammatory mediators have been involved in the pathogeny of the macular edema in central retinal vein occlusion. CASE REPORT: The authors report a case with non-ischemic central retinal vein occlusion that was successfully treated with a single sustained-release fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant. After a course of repeated injections of shorter-acting corticosteroid, the affected eye presented a visual acuity of 20/200 and a central subfield foveal thickness of 587 µm. After fluocinolone acetonide in intravitreal implant and during a follow-up period of 12 months, a continuous and sustained increase in visual acuity until 20/25 with significant anatomical improvements and an acceptable safety profile was observed.

conclusionThese results, demonstrate that fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant might be an effective treatment option in macular edema secondary to non-ischemic central retinal vein occlusion.
