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: The aim of this study was to analyze the course of visual acuity (VA) in visual outcomes of patients treated with iodine-125 ( Material and methods: Visual acuity was prospectively assessed using a case series of 305 patients treated with Results: The median follow-up time was 78.2 months (range, 6-254 months). The cumulative probabilities of survival analysis at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years were 16%, 3%, 2%, and none for the first sub-group; 46%, 20%, 17%, and 14% for the second; 65%, 53%, 29%, and 15% for the third; and 86%, 56%, 48%, and 41% for the fourth sub-group. The median survival in years was 0.30, 0.80, 3.10, and 4.40 for each sub-cohort, respectively. Conclusions: The decrease and maintenance of VA depends on the initial VA of patients. Most patients experience a marked worsening of their VA, regardless of their VA status before treatment with episcleral brachytherapy. Patients with a higher baseline VA retain VA best over time.
