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
Objective: To investigate the associations of macular microvascular abnormalities with the characteristics and progression of macular edema or exudation in Coats' disease, toward an updated understanding of possible risk factors for macular edema or exudation. Methods: Twenty-six eyes (26 patients) with Coats' disease and macular edema or exudation underwent multimodal imaging and were followed for 18 months. The eyes were classified according to their outcomes (refractory or improved). Macular capillary affections were assessed by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and fluorescein angiography (FA). Histopathological analysis of the macular region of an additional enucleated eye was performed. Results: OCTA revealed telangiectasia in the deep capillary plexus (DCP) in 76.9% and the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) in 34.6% of 26 eyes with macular edema or exudation of Coats' disease, exceeding the rate detected by FA (21.4%). Eyes with intraretinal cystoid spaces/exudates of the macula presented higher presence of telangiectasia in the SCP (57.1% with vs. 8.3% without, Conclusions: Macular capillary abnormalities, including telangiectasia and VD loss, were positively detected in eyes with macular edema or exudation of Coats' disease. Intraretinal cystoid spaces/exudates of the macula, rather than subretinal exudates, may be related to macular telangiectasia. VD losses in the SCP and DCP may be risk factors for refractory macular edema or exudation.
