Selective retina therapy for subretinal fluid associated with choroidal nevus.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo report a case of a patient with subretinal fluid (SRF) associated with choroidal nevus (CN), who was treated with selective retina therapy (SRT) and ultimately achieved resolution of the SRF. OBSERVATIONS: A 41-year-old man with SRF associated with CN in his right eye (RE) underwent ophthalmologic evaluation, including optic coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyanine green angiography. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) converted to the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) was 0.00 in the RE. SRT (532 nm, 1.7 μs pulse duration, 30 pulses in 100Hz; Medical Laser Center Lübeck) was performed with the laser spots equally distributed across the FA leakage area. Until 20 months SRT was repeated several times because the SRF decreased every time in response to SRT, but was not completely resolved and sometimes increased with time. After performing 6 times of SRT session, leakage on FA stopped at 21 months follow-up and SRF was resolved at 31 months. At 60 months after the first SRT, there were no signs of malignant transformation, no SRF, and the BCVA in the RE was 0.22. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: SRT seems to be a useful treatment and proper clinical studies are necessary to establish the best treatment protocol for SRF associated with CN.
