Safety of photodynamic therapy involving optic nerve head.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We present a case of large peripapillary polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy treated with standard-fluence photodynamic therapy (PDT) as other treatment options were unsuccessful or not justified. Due to large lesion size, treatment spot included part of optic disc also. PDT resulted in regression of polyp and visual improvement (from 20/300 to 20/20) without any collateral damage to optic nerve as evidenced by visual-field test and visual-evoked potential with a follow-up till 2 years. This case highlights the role of PDT as a safe alternative for treatment of large peripapillary lesion, even though the treatment spot encompasses part of the optic nerve head.
