Trial report in Ophthalmology. Retina, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01969708 (Study of COmparative Treatments for REtinal Vein Occlusion 2 [SCORE2]), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

purposeTo evaluate the association between baseline demographic and spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT) features with visual acuity (VA) in the Study of COmparative Treatments for REtinal Vein Occlusion 2 (SCORE2) over 2 years.

designPost hoc analysis of prospective clinical trial data.

participantsA total of 362 SCORE2 participants with macular edema secondary to central retinal (CRVO) or hemiretinal vein occlusion (HRVO).

methodsSpectral domain OCT volume scans were assessed at the SCORE2 reading center at baseline, month 01 (M01), month 06 (M06), month 12 (M12), and month 24 (M24) for central subfield thickness (CST), subretinal fluid, intraretinal fluid, vitreoretinal interface abnormalities, disorganization of retinal inner layers (DRIL), and ellipsoid zone (EZ) within the central subfield (CSF).

main outcome measuresVisual acuity at M06, M12, and M24.

resultsMean baseline age was 68.9 years. Mean VA at M01 was 63.2 letters, and CST was 299.7 μm. At M01, subretinal fluid was seen in 28.5% intraretinal fluid in 67.2%, DRIL was seen in 73.8%, mostly within the CSF, and the EZ was absent in 9.8 and patchy in 31.7%. In multivariate analysis including all M01 demographics and SD-OCT parameters and their association with VA at M06, M12, and M24, VA at M01 remained significant across all time points up to M24 (P < 0.001).

conclusionsIn this 2-year follow-up of eyes that were treated with both per protocol and off protocol for RVO, VA at M01 was an important predictor of long-term vision and change in vision. Establishing predictors of visual recovery helps identify causes for poor responders to treatment in patients with RVO.
