Baseline Choroidal Blood Flow Imbalance as a Predictive Factor for Macular Edema Recurrence Secondary to Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesTo evaluate the roles of choroidal blood flow (CBF) and choroidal thickness (CT) as predictors of macular edema recurrence in patients with treatment-naive non-ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) after intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) injection.
methodsSixteen eyes from sixteen patients with treatment-naive non-ischemic BRVO treated with IVR, once initially and then as needed, were included in the study. CBF and CT in the subfovea, occlusive, and non-occlusive regions were measured via laser speckle flowgraphy and enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography over 12 months.
resultsBaseline CT was significantly greater in the occlusive region (335 ± 72.1 µm) than in the non-occlusive region (274 ± 36.7 µm,
conclusionsBaseline CBF imbalance in eyes with treatment-naive BRVO may indicate the recurrence of macular edema after ranibizumab therapy.
