Choroidal and retinal exudative changes following extensive endolaser pan retinal 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
backgroundIn this report, we describe a case of proliferative diabetic retinopathy that developed into exudative changes confusing with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) following extensive endolaser pan retinal photocoagulation. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 49-year-old male patient with diabetic retinopathy in both eyes presented with vitreous hemorrhage and 6/60 visual acuity in his left eye. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans at presentation revealed serous PEDs in both eyes. On day 10 after vitreoretinal surgery and complete peripheral endolaser PRP for the left eye, there was serous retinal detachment (SRD) and an increase in PED heights, mimicking CSCR. No additional treatment was considered. At the three-week post-operative visit, OCT scans revealed that the SRD had resolved and the PED heights had decreased without rupture. At the final follow-up visit, 12 weeks after surgery, the SRD had not recurred, and the PEDs had stabilized. Despite no additional ocular therapy for the right eye, the serous PED height had decreased. The choroidal thickness (CT) at the fovea at various points during the follow-up visits revealed a reduction in both eyes.
conclusionThis case demonstrated the course of SRD, PED, and CT following extensive PRP. These changes may be associated with intraocular VEGF changes. In the presence of SRD and serous PED, the PED morphology may help differentiate the condition from CSCR. Although caution should be exercised when performing PRP during surgery or as an outpatient procedure, the SRD usually resolves without problem.
