Retinal Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Findings following Retinoblastoma Treatment by Chemotherapy.

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: To investigate the macular microvascular changes after different kinds of chemotherapy in patients with extramacular retinoblastoma (RB). Methods: In this study, 28 eyes of 19 patients with bilateral RB treated with intravenous systemic chemotherapy (IVSC group) and 12 eyes of 12 patients with unilateral RB treated with intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC group) were compared with 6 normal fellow eyes of 6 patients with unilateral RB treated with IVSC (IVSC fellow eye group), and 7 normal fellow eyes of 7 unilateral RB patients treated with IAC (IAC fellow eye group), as well as 12 age-matched normal eyes. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography measurements of central macular and subfoveal choroidal thickness (CMT and SFCT) as well as optical coherence tomography angiography measurements such as retinal superficial capillary density (SCD), deep capillary density (DCD), and choriocapillaris density were documented. Results: Images of 2 eyes in the IVSC group and 8 eyes in the IAC group were excluded from the final image analysis due to severe retinal atrophy. Overall, 26 eyes with bilateral RB treated with IVSC and 4 eyes of 4 patients with unilateral RB treated with IAC were compared with the mentioned control groups. Best-corrected visual acuity was 1.03 logMAR in the IAC patients compared to 0.46 logMAR in the IVSC group at the time of imaging. While the CMT and SFCT were lower in the IAC group in comparison with the IAC fellow eye and normal groups ( Conclusion: Our study showed a substantial decrease in SCD, DCD, CMT, and choroidal thickness in the IAC group, which may explain the lower visual outcome in this group.
