Prophylactic juxtapapillary laser photocoagulation in pediatric morning glory syndrome.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimTo determine the anatomic and visual outcomes of prophylactic juxtapapillary laser photocoagulation treatment alone in the prevention of retinal detachment (RD) in a cohort of pediatric patients diagnosed with morning glory syndrome (MGS).
methodsA total of 24 eyes of 22 consecutive patients aged 0-15y diagnosed with MGS treated with prophylactic juxtapapillary laser photocoagulation alone were reviewed. Data including demographics, ocular examination, anatomic and visual outcomes, following treatment and complications were collected.
resultsTwo patients had bilateral laser treatment and 20 had monocular laser treatment. The age at treatment of 13 (59.1%) patients was less than 12mo. The presenting symptoms included strabismus (6/22, 27.3%), decreased vision (2/22, 9.1%), and routine fundus screening (14/22, 63.6%). Fifteen (68.2%) patients underwent cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations, and 3 of those 15 (20.0%) had abnormal findings in the nervous system. Based on preoperative wide-field fundus photography and B-scan echography, all (100.0%) eyes had no obvious RD. On postoperative 1mo and 6mo and the following follow-ups, the anatomic outcomes of all eyes remained stable. The mean follow-up duration was 27.7±17.5mo. No severe complications were found. Preoperative visual acuity acquired from 2 (9.1%) patients ranged from light perception to 20/200. Postoperative acuity acquired from 11 (50.0%) patients ranged from light perception to 20/125.
conclusionThe preliminary anatomic and visual outcomes of prophylactic juxtapapillary laser treatment alone in pediatric MGS patients are relatively stable in a short-term follow-up. Further long-term clinical observation will be needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.
