1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A 59-year-old man with diabetic macular oedema was treated with a dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex) to his right eye. Immediately after injection, the implant was noted to have extruded into the perilimbal subconjunctival space. The remnants of the implant were expeditiously removed the following day to avoid corneal decompensation and permanent corneal oedema. Endothelial decompensation secondary to the migration of dexamethasone implants into the subconjunctival space or anterior chamber is a recognised complication of Ozurdex injection. The patient recovered well postoperatively with no further complications. He was planned for a new Ozurdex implant 1 month later.
