Subfoveal neurosensory detachment flattening and observe (SNF-Ob) approach for the management of Ci-DMO - a multicentric study.
Observational study in Eye (London, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo understand subfoveal neurosensory detachment flattening and observe (SNF-Ob) strategy and its relationship with visual acuity in the management of centre-involved diabetic macular oedema (Ci-DMO).
methodsThis was a multicentric retrospective observational study. We reviewed data of 188 eyes of 130 patients who presented with Ci-DMO with subfoveal neurosensory detachment (NSD) and treated with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents or steroids. The primary outcome was best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measured at the time of the first subfoveal neurosensory detachment flattening (SNF) and at the end of follow-up.
resultsEyes that achieved 20/50 (LogMAR = 0.40) or better at first SNF had mean LogMAR BCVA 0.38 ± 0.21, 0.24 ± 0.11 and 0.21 ± 0.15 at baseline, at the time of first SNF, and at the end of the last follow-up respectively. Mean LogMAR BCVA significantly improved from baseline to first SNF (p < 0.0001; 95% CI 0.115-0.183) and at the end of the last follow-up (p < 0.0001; 95% CI 0.126-0.213) with a change of Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) 10 letters. There was no significant difference in improvement in BCVA from the first SNF and at the end of the last follow-up (p = 0.0781; 95% CI -0.002 to 0.046).
conclusionsEyes presenting with Ci-DMO and subfoveal NSD are unlikely to improve at SNF with BCVA > 20/50 (LogMAR = 0.40). Further evidence is needed before the combination of good BCVA and SNF may be considered as endpoint of pharmacological therapy for DMO.
