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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: We present multimodal imaging of an interesting case of a 78-year-old man who developed large ciliochoroidal detachments and macular subretinal and intraretinal fluid in the right eye following bilateral neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser peripheral iridotomies (LPIs). Observations: The ciliochoroidal detachments developed in the absence of documented post-procedure hypotony or intraocular pressure fluctuation. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) confirmed serous ciliochoroidal detachment. There are a small number of cases of ciliochoroidal detachments developing after peripheral iridotomy, but these have involved either argon laser, significant decrease in intraocular pressure, or underlying ocular conditions or structural abnormalities, such as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) or nanophthalmos. Conclusions: Serous ciliochoroidal detachments following the relatively non-invasive procedure of LPI are rare occurrences. We present our case in hopes of increasing awareness of this potential acute complication. We also discuss the diagnostic challenges of this unique case, the extensive work up, and current status of the patient.
