Efficacy of Intravitreal Injection of Filtered Modified Low-Dose Triamcinolone Acetonide and Ranibizumab on Pseudophakic Cystoid Macular Edema.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 compare the visual and morphological effects between intravitreal injection of filtered modified 2 mg triamcinolone acetonide (TA) and 0. 5 mg ranibizumab in patients with pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME).
methodsA retrospective, interventional study was conducted from January 2015 to February 2020 involving patients with PCME after uneventful cataract surgery. A total of 25 patients (25 eyes) with PCME received an intravitreal injection of 0.22 μm filtered modified 2 mg TA, while 15 patients (15 eyes) received 0.5 mg ranibizumab injection. Central macular thickness (CMT), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), times of repeated injections, and other side effects were observed at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after injection; then, the data were compared with preinjection information in each group and between the two groups.
resultsBoth the TA and ranibizumab intravitreal injection can achieve improved BCVA and reduced CMT in patients with PCME (
conclusionIntravitreal injection of filtered modified 2 mg TA is safe, effective, and an inexpensive alternative to antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents for patients with PCME, especially for patients concurrently with DM. A large number of clinical randomized controlled studies along with long-term follow-up observations are needed.
