Three-dimensional pattern of extraretinal neovascular development in retinopathy of prematurity.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 7 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.

Abstract
backgroundThe application of three-dimensional (3D) visualization techniques to evaluate the earliest visible onset of abnormal retinal vascular development in preterm infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), using bedside non-contact optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging to characterize morphology and sequential structural changes of abnormal extraretinal neovascularization.
methodsThirty-one preterm infants undergoing routine ROP screening with written informed consent for research imaging were enrolled in this prospective observational study. We imaged the macula and temporal periphery of preterm infants using a handheld OCT system (Envisu 2300 or handheld swept-source research system). The scans obtained were segmented and, using enhanced ray casting, were converted to 3D volumes to which color filter was applied.
resultsUsing colorized 3D visualization, we defined extraretinal neovascular structures as buds, bridging networks, and placoid lesions. We could longitudinally follow progression and regression of extraretinal neovascularization in stage 3 ROP after treatment in one infant over 12 weeks and document the appearance of early buds, and formation of florid neovascularization. From stages 2 to 3 ROP, we observed progression from sessile buds to a complex plaque that corresponded to stage 3 ROP on clinical examination. We demonstrated regression of neovascular complexes to small pre-retinal tufts after treatment with anti-VEGF.
conclusionsThe extension of OCT processing to include surface flattening and colorization that further improved structural analysis rendered better understanding of extraretinal tissue. Our ability to image similar areas in the same infant over multiple visits enabled us to study the evolution of these structural components and follow pathological vascular events longitudinally in development and regression after treatment. These methods can be applied to further study which are likely contribute to our understanding of the pathophysiology of neovascularization in ROP.
