Analysis of Predisposing Clinical Features for Worsening Traction After Treatment of Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy in Children.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 determine the incidence of worsening vitreoretinal traction after laser treatment for familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) and to determine whether any baseline clinical features are associated with worsening.
designRetrospective cohort comparison study in a university tertiary referral center.
methodsAll patients 0-21 years of age treated with laser from January 1, 2001, to June 1, 2018, were studied. Worsening traction after treatment was defined as the occurrence within 6 months of worsening or development of tractional retinal detachment, folds, dragging, breaks, rhegmatogenous detachment, or worsening tractional membranes. Comparisons of baseline features between groups with and without worsening were performed to determine features associated with higher risk.
resultsA total of 46 eyes from 28 patients met inclusion criteria. Of the 46 eyes, 6 (13%) had worsening after treatment. There were no significant differences in age or other baseline demographics between the cohorts with and those without worsening traction. The presence of proliferative tissue in contact with the lens was found in 2 of 6 patients with worsening compared to 1 of 40 (3%) without worsening (P = .04). Mean follow-up was 57.8 months (range, 6.6-134 months). At the 6-month follow-up, median logMAR visual acuity in the cohorts with and without worsening was 1.7 (Snellen 20/1002; n = 5) and 0.24 (Snellen 20/35; n = 16), respectively.
conclusionsLaser treatment resulted in worsening traction in a substantial proportion of eyes with FEVR. Children with proliferative tissue in contact with the lens may be at higher risk of worsening after laser. Potential measures to reduce risk will require further study to establish efficacy.
