Case Report: Intravitreal dexamethasone implant as adjuvant treatment for taxane-related cystoid macular edema.
Article in Frontiers in ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Taxane-related cystoid macular edema (CME) is a rare complication of the taxoid medication, a chemotherapeutic drug. We report a 47-year-old Han Chinese man referred to our Eye Center for decreased vision with visual distortion in both eyes for two weeks. Two weeks prior, he received the last cycle of his six-monthly chemotherapy, including paclitaxel for hypopharyngeal malignancy. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.4 OD and 0.1 OS. Macular optical coherence tomography showed significant bilateral CME, and fluorescein angiography (FA) revealed the fluorescein pooling at the late phase without leakage. Intravitreal 700 μg dexamethasone (DEX) implant was applied to the left eye and 13 days after to the right eye. Two months later, the macular morphology recovered to normal. One year after the first visit, the BCVA was 1.0 OD and 0.8 OS with standard macula on OCT. In conclusion, the intravitreal DEX implant might be an effective adjuvant treatment for taxane-related CME.
