WF SS-OCTA for detecting diabetic retinopathy and evaluating the effect of photocoagulation on posterior vitreous detachment.

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
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the clinical usefulness of widefield swept source optical coherence tomography angiography (WF SS-OCTA) for detecting microvasculature lesions in diabetic retinopathy (DR) by comparing it with ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography (UWFFA) and to investigate the effect of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) on posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) status. Methods: Patients with severe non-proliferative DR (NPDR) or proliferative DR (PDR) who were initially treated with PRP were enrolled. They underwent WF SS-OCTA with a 12×12-mm scan pattern of five visual fixations at baseline and at least a 3-month follow-up after PRP treatment. Patients with no contraindications underwent imaging with UWFFA within a week. Images were evaluated using two methods for the areas of the visible field of view (FOV), non-perfusion area (NPA), presence of neovascularization of the disc (NVD), neovascularization elsewhere (NVE), and PVD status. Results: In total, 44 eyes of 28 patients with DR that were initially treated with PRP were analyzed. The FOV of the UWFFA was significantly wider than that of the WF SS-OCTA. The quantitative measurement of the NPAs was consistent between the two methods. NPAs more than 5DA outside the panoramic OCTA imaging area were detected in 1 eye with NPDR (8.3%) and in 10 eyes with PDR (47.8%). WF SS-OCTA had high detection rates for NVDs and NVEs, with a low rate of false positives. After PRP treatment, no eyes indicated progression in the PVD stages around the macula, optical disc, or NVEs at the short follow-up. Conclusion: WF SS-OCTA is clinically useful for evaluating NPAs and neovascularization in DR. PRP treatment does not induce PVD development in the short term.
