Swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography findings of diabetic papillopathy after intravitreal bevacizumab.

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
purposeWe report a case of diabetic papillopathy (DP) treated with intravitreal bevacizumab injections and evaluated for disc vessel changes using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA). OBSERVATIONS: A 52-year-old man was referred with a 1-week history of acute painless decreased vision in both eyes (OU). His best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/40 in the right eye (OD) and 20/100 in the left eye (OS). Fundus examination showed swollen optic discs with superficial radially oriented telangiectatic vessels, peripapillary splinter hemorrhages, and hard exudates OU. On SS-OCTA, B-scan images displayed blood flow signals in the thickened retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) of the optic disc and superficial RNFL slab images displayed radially oriented telangiectatic vessels OU. Laboratory tests revealed previously unknown diabetes, and we diagnosed the patient with DP OU. Two weeks after an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab OS, the disc swelling, radially oriented telangiectatic vessels, and peripapillary splinter hemorrhages had decreased OS. The superficial RNFL slab OS also depicted decreased radially oriented telangiectatic vessels. However, OD showed no interval changes. Two weeks after an intravitreal bevacizumab injection OD, improved BCVA, decreased disc swelling, radially oriented telangiectatic vessels, and peripapillary splinter hemorrhages were observed OU. The superficial RNFL slab also showed decreased radially oriented telangiectatic vessels OU. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: This case showed that bevacizumab is a useful treatment option for DP as they resolve underlying optic nerve capillary vasculopathy. SS-OCTA demonstrated resolved superficial telangiectatic vessels of the optic disc which has not been previously described.
