1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Retinal vein occlusions (RVOs) are the second most common retinal vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy, and are a significant cause of visual impairment, especially in the elderly population. RVOs result in visual loss due to macular ischemia, cystoid macular edema (CME), and complications related to neovascularization. Vascular assessment in RVOs traditionally relies on standard fluorescein angiography (FA) for assessment of macular and retinal ischemia, which aids in prognostication and guides intervention. Standard FA has significant limitations-it is time-consuming, requires invasive dye administration, allows for limited assessment of the peripheral retina, and is usually evaluated semi-qualitatively, by ophthalmologists with tertiary expertise. More recently, the introduction of ultra-widefield FA (UWF FA) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) into clinical practice has changed the tools available for vascular evaluation in RVOs. UWF FA allows for evaluation of peripheral retinal perfusion, and OCTA is non-invasive, rapidly-acquired, and provides more information on capillary perfusion. Both modalities can be used to provide more quantitative parameters related to retinal perfusion. In this article, we review the clinical utility and impact of UWF FA and OCTA in the evaluation and management of patients with RVOs.
