The utility of wide-field optical coherence tomography angiography in diagnosis and monitoring of proliferative diabetic retinopathy in pregnancy.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeDiabetic retinopathy is an increasingly common complication of diabetes mellitus that benefits from early diagnosis and frequent monitoring, especially in pregnancy where there is a greater risk of progression. Fundus fluorescein angiography is currently the gold standard method of investigation for neovascularization. However, this has risks of unpleasant and potentially dangerous side effects, with an added theoretical risk to the fetus in pregnancy. Wide-field optical coherence tomography angiography (PLEX Elite 9000, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc. USA and DRI Swept Source OCT Triton, Topcon Medical Systems, Inc. USA) potentially offers a safer, faster and equally effective alternative method for diagnosis and monitoring of diabetic retinopathy in pregnant patients. OBSERVATIONS: In the 3 cases reviewed from our clinic, we found that wide-field optical coherence tomography angiography was successfully used as an alternative to fundus fluorescein angiography in early diagnosis and ongoing monitoring of diabetic retinopathy in pregnant patients. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Wide-field optical coherence tomography angiography can be considered as a useful alternative to fundus fluorescein angiography when reviewing pregnant diabetic retinopathy patients. This allows avoidance of any unpleasant and potentially dangerous side effects associated with fluorescein injection, and appears to be just as effective in diagnosis and detecting disease progression.
