Triple Trouble with Triple Solutions: A Unique Case Report of a Severe Exudative Retinal Detachment Accompanied by Retinal Traction and Two Retinal Holes in Coats Disease.

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
Introduction: Coats disease is a rare vasculature pathology that usually presents as retinal telangiectasia with possible progression to exudative retinal detachment (RD). Intravitreal anti-VEGF injections, cryotherapy, laser photocoagulation, and surgery are commonly used to control the disease and prevent its progression. Although iatrogenic tractional RDs secondary to anti-VEGF injections have been reported in patients with Coats disease, RDs in Coats disease are exudative, secondary to retinal exudation and vascular abnormalities. In this article, we present the first reported case of a severe exudative RD accompanied by retinal traction and two retinal holes in a patient with Coats disease. Case Presentation: A 32-year-old male initially presented with Coats disease stage 2A, which then progressed to 3A1 within a month of close follow-ups, finally leading to exudative RD. Following cryotherapy and bevacizumab injections, the exudative RD progressed, with the emergence of retinal traction and two retinal holes. This complex case was successfully treated with a scleral buckle vitrectomy accompanied by radial elements to support the RD, pars plana vitrectomy, silicon oil tamponade, and post-surgical bevacizumab injections. Six months following the surgical intervention, the patient's vision is restored at 20/30, and retinal imaging shows a totally flattened retina. Conclusion: We present the first reported case of a severe exudative RD accompanied by retinal traction and two retinal holes in a patient with Coats disease. The combination of surgical treatment and bevacizumab injections is thought to have collectively contributed to our patient's favorable outcome.
