Delayed anterior segment complications after the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity with laser photocoagulation.

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: This retrospective cohort study presents a group of patients who underwent laser therapy for retinopathy of prematurity and presented with delayed anterior segment complications. Methods: The charts of infants treated with laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity at our institution between 1988 and 2020 were reviewed. The data extracted included demographics, treatment and clinical examination findings, and those on visual acuity, surgical procedures, and cycloplegic refraction. The inclusion criteria were documented anterior segment changes during the follow-up period. The exclusion criteria were any prior intraocular surgery or inflammation before signs of anterior segment complications developed. The exposure was laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity and the main outcomes were anterior segment complications, visual acuity, and cycloplegic refraction. Results: A total of 183 charts were reviewed. Sixteen eyes of nine patients (4.4%) met the inclusion criteria. The mean follow-up period after laser treatment was 15.9 years (range 10 years-26 years). The mean gestational age at birth was 24.6 weeks (range 23 weeks-27 weeks), and the mean age at first clinical documentation of anterior segment complications was 8.7 years (range 1 years-25 years). The complications included cataract ( Conclusions: Anterior segment complications after laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity may develop later in life. They affect patients' visual acuity and quality of life and may require treatment.
