Ten-year outcomes after initial management with laser photocoagulation versus intravitreal bevacizumab injection in a pair of identical twins with aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity.

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 evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes after initial management with retinal laser photocoagulation (RLP) versus intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection in identical twins with zone Ⅰ aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP). OBSERVATIONS: Identical female twins were born at a gestational age of 28 2/7 weeks, weighing 970 g and 1020 g. The twins were diagnosed with bilateral AP-ROP, referred to a different hospital due to unavilability of a neonatal intensive care unitand received different initial treatments. At a postmenstrual age of 32 6/7 weeks, the first-born infant underwent bilateral IVB (0.313 mg) injection, whereas the second-born infant received bilateral laser photocoagulation on the same day. To treat recurrence, the first-born infant underwent additional bilateral IVB reinjection at 10 weeks post-treatment, while the second-born infant underwent combined bilateral laser photocoagulation and IVB injection at 2 weeks post-treatment.After 10 years, the first-born infant's best corrected visual acuities (BCVAs) of the right and left eyes were 20/20 and 20/50, respectively. Both eyes showed complete retinal vascularization of the peripheral retina and an anatomically normal foveal contour on swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). However, the second-born infant's BCVAs of the right and left eyes were 20/50 and 1-m finger-counting, respectively. Both eyes of the second-born infant showed panretinal chorioretinal atrophy due to laser scars, a flattened foveal contour with thin epiretinal membrane in the right eye, and loss of foveal curvature in the left eye on SS-OCT images, 10 years after the initial treatment. Moreover, severe myopia and astigmatism were observed in both eyes of the second-born infant, compared with those of the first-born infant during follow-up. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: These cases involving identical twins indicated that the effect of initial IVB injection for AP-ROP was superior to that of initial RLP in terms of functional and anatomical outcomes during a 10-year follow-up.
