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

Purpose: To compare the outcomes of fluorescein angiography (FA)-guided and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA)-guided half-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Methods: In this retrospective comparative study, medical records of eyes with chronic CSC who underwent half-dose PDT were reviewed. A retina specialist performed FA-guided half-dose PDT, and the other performed ICGA-guided treatment. The success of applying PDT in the resolution of subretinal fluid was compared between the FA- and ICGA-guided methods. Results: Eighty-two eyes of 73 patients (41 eyes in each group) received half-dose PDT. After half-dose PDT, a significant improvement in the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was found at the time of the last follow-up in both groups (both Conclusion: FA-guided and ICG-guided half-dose PDT may have similar efficacy for the treatment of chronic CSC.
