Non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment treated with fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant: 3-year fellow eye analysis.
Article in Eye (London, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01694186 (A Phase III, Multi-National, Multi-Center, Randomized, Masked, Controlled, Safety and Efficacy Study of a Fluocinolone Acetonide Intravitreal Insert in Subjects With Chronic Non-Infectious Uveitis Affecting the Posterior Segment of the Eye), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
backgroundPrevention of non-infectious uveitis of the posterior segment (NIU-PS) recurrence using 0.2 μg/day fluocinolone acetonide implant (FAi) was assessed over 3 years (NCT01694186). Outcomes for FAi-treated and fellow eyes with NIU-PS were compared, to evaluate FAi versus conventional treatment strategies.
methodsEligible subjects had >1-year recurrent NIU-PS history and either ≥2 separate recurrences requiring treatment, or corticosteroid therapy (systemic or ocular) in the 12 months preceding study entry. Bilateral disease was present and analysed in 59/87 FAi-treated participants. Recurrence rates, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) changes, cataract surgery, intraocular pressure (IOP) events and adjunctive medication use were compared for FAi-treated and fellow eyes.
resultsOver 36 months, more FAi-treated than fellow eyes remained recurrence-free (28.8% vs. 5.1%, P = 0.001; mean 1.9 vs. 4.7 recurrences, respectively, P < 0.0001). FAi-treated eyes gained +9.6 letters BCVA, versus a loss of -4.4 in fellow eyes (P < 0.0001). Systemic medications were given to 42.4% of subjects. Intra/periocular adjunctive injections were lower in FAi-treated than fellow eyes (20.3% vs. 66.1%, P < 0.0001); topical corticosteroid use was also lower in FAi-treated than fellow eyes (27.1% vs 52.5%, P = 0.0041). IOP-related events occurred at similar rates in both FAi-treated and fellow eyes, excepting IOP-lowering surgery (5.1% vs. 15.3%, respectively; P = 0.1251). Cataract surgery occurred in 72.0% of FAi-treated and 37.0% of fellow eyes.
conclusionsIn subjects with bilateral NIU-PS, continuous, low-dose corticosteroid with 0.2 μg/day FAi reduced recurrence and adjunctive medication requirements, and improved vision over 36 months, providing greater protection against ocular inflammation than a reactive approach using standard of care.
