Visualization and Grading of Vitreous Floaters Using Dynamic Ultra-Widefield Infrared Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy: A Pilot Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 describe the appearance of vitreous opacities using dynamic ultra-widefield infrared confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (IRcSLO).
designRetrospective case series.
methodsEyes of patients complaining of myodesopsia were analyzed using dynamic ultra-widefield IRcSLO imaging (Nidek Mirante, Nidek Co., Ltd., Gamagori, Japan), and classified according to a vitreous opacity severity scale.
resultsThirty eyes of 21 patients were included in this study. The average age was 56 years. Symptom duration ranged from 1 to more than 365 days. The most common cause of vitreous floaters was posterior vitreous detachment (63.3%), followed by vitreous syneresis (23.3%), asteroid hyalosis (10%) and vitreous hemorrhage (3.3%). Opacities were classified as Grade 1 in three eyes (10%), Grade 2 in 10 eyes (33.3%), Grade 3 in 11 eyes (36.6%), Grade 4 in two eyes (6.6%) and Grade 5 in four eyes (13.3%). Patients with Grade 1 opacities were younger than patients with opacities Grade 2 or greater. A visible Weiss ring could be identified in 0% of eyes with Grade 1 opacities, 40% of eyes with Grade 2 opacities, 100% of eyes with Grade 3 opacities, and 100% of eyes with Grade 4 opacities. In patients with Grade 5 opacities, a Weiss ring could not be identified.
conclusionDynamic ultra-widefield IRcSLO imaging is a useful tool to evaluate patients with vitreous floaters. It allows for accurate visualization of the number, density, and behavior of the shadows that vitreous opacities project over a very wide area of the retina, which has a positive correlation with patient perception of floaters.
