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

purposeIn this study, we report a case of branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) in the contralateral eye the day after aflibercept treatment during systemic heparin administration. OBSERVATIONS: A 63-year-old woman with diabetic macular edema underwent repeated intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs (0.5mg ranibizumab or 2mg aflibercept) for her left eye. The day after intravitreal injection of aflibercept, she presented with sudden painless blurred vision that was limited to the inferior visual field defect in the contralateral eye (right eye) during hemodialysis with the anti-coagulant heparin. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) showed decreased artery perfusion and the patient was diagnosed with contralateral BRAO.
