Progression from preplus to plus disease in the Telemedicine Approaches to Evaluating Acute-Phase Retinopathy of Prematurity (e-ROP) Study: incidence, timing, and predictors.
Article in Journal of AAPOS : the official publication of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 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 determine the incidence of and timing and predictors for progression from pre-plus to plus disease, based on evaluation of images.
methodsTwo trained readers independently evaluated posterior pole images of infants from 13 North American centers for pre-plus/plus disease, stage, and zone of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Discrepancies between readers were adjudicated. To be eligible for analysis, eyes had to have at least two imaging sessions, the earlier one with pre-plus disease.
resultsOf 681 eyes of 444 infants with pre-plus first detected at mean postmenstrual age (PMA) of 35.5 ± 2.1 weeks, 54 (7.9%) progressed to plus disease at a mean PMA of 37.6 ± 2.4 weeks with the mean interval for progression of 2.7 weeks (range, 0.4-8.9 weeks). Progression rate was higher for eyes with larger number of quadrants of pre-plus (44% for eyes with four quadrants vs 4% with one quadrant [P < 0.0001]), earlier PMA with pre-plus (18% for 32 weeks' PMA vs 3% for PMA of >37 weeks [P = 0.02]), higher ROP stage (12% for stage 3, 2.5% for no ROP [P < 0.0001]), lower ROP zone (24% for zone I, 6% for zone II or no ROP [P < 0.0001]) at the time of first pre-plus detection.
conclusionsBased on image evaluation, 8% of eyes progressed from pre-plus to plus disease at a mean interval of 3 weeks. Pre-plus in multiple quadrants, higher stages of ROP, and lower zones of ROP were associated with higher risk of progression. Image evaluation for pre-plus may help in the identification of high-risk eyes for developing plus disease.
