Fluorescein Angiography Parameters in Premature Neonates.
Article in Ophthalmology science. 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
Purpose: To describe fluorescein angiography (FA) parameters observed in premature neonates with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Design: Retrospective case series. Subjects: Patients with ROP who underwent FA imaging using Retcam at Holtz Children's Hospital from November 2014 to October 2022. Methods: Fluorescein angiography images of the included patients were analyzed with a focus on the timing of angiography phases, including choroidal flush, retinal, and recirculation phases. Gestational age, birth weight (BW), age at imaging, treatment choice, and any FA complications were documented. Main Outcome Measures: Dose of fluorescein administered, onset and duration of each angiography phase, and FA findings in ROP-treated patients. Results: A total of 72 images of 72 eyes were reviewed. Image quality was deemed suitable for inclusion in 64 eyes (88.9%) of 43 patients. The mean gestational age and BW at birth were 24.4 ± 1.9 weeks and 607.8 ± 141.3 g, respectively. The mean postmenstrual age at FA imaging was 50.5 ± 40.8 weeks. All eyes (100%) received treatment with intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF at a mean age of 35.5 ± 2.4 weeks. The onset and duration of angiography phases were relatively variable within the cohort. Choroidal flush occurred at a mean time of 12.2 seconds (range: 6-22 seconds). A subsequent retinal phase was documented at a mean time of 11.96 seconds (range: 3-22 seconds). Recirculation phase was complete at an average time of 2.15 minutes (range: 1-5.45 minutes) postfluorescein injection. None of patients developed allergic reactions to fluorescein injection, such as rash, respiratory distress, tachycardia, fever, or local injection site reactions. Conclusions: Angiographic phases on FA in preterm infants with ROP are variable and may occur earlier than the established references for adults.
