Investigation of clinical profile of Behçet's syndrome-related versus idiopathic branch retinal vein occlusion.

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 compare the long-term results of the patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) secondary to Behçet's syndrome (BS) with the patients with unknown etiology.
methodsMedical records and optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging results of the patients with BRVO secondary to BS and with unknown etiology were reviewed retrospectively between 2016 and 2018 at a single center. The anatomical location of the BRVO, involvement of the macula, application of laser photocoagulation, and intravitreal injection were evaluated.
resultsTwenty-eight eyes of 23 patients with BRVO secondary to BS as the study group and 22 eyes of 19 idiopathic BRVO patients as the control group were included in the study. The mean duration of follow-up after the development of BRVO was 74.6 ± 57.4 months in the study group and 63.6 ± 59 months in the control group. The rate of bilaterality, macular involvement, and application of laser photocoagulation was not statistically significantly different between the groups. However, the frequency of injection requirement was significantly lower in the patients with BRVO secondary to BS in comparison to the control group (P= 0.009).
conclusionAlthough the treatment of BRVO is laser photocoagulation and intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF agents or dexamethasone implant, the patients with BS might respond very well to systemic immunomodulatory agents in case of BRVO. Thus, rearrangement of the immunomodulatory treatment before starting intravitreal injections should be considered in the patients with BRVO secondary to BS.
