Pachychoroid as a Risk Factor for Exudative Retinal Detachment After Panretinal Photocoagulation: A Report of Two Cases.
Article in Cureus, 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
In this case series of two patients, we discuss pachychoroid as a risk factor for predicting exudative retinal detachment (RD) after panretinal photocoagulation (PRP). The first patient was a 55-year-old diabetic male with unstable proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), serous pigment epithelial detachment (PED), and pachychoroid confirmed via fluorescein angiography (FA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), who underwent PRP. Post-PRP, the patient complained of visual loss in both eyes. Subsequent FA and OCT confirmed the presence of exudative RD, which resolved after a course of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory eyedrops. The second patient was a 50-year-old male with PDR, serous PED, and pachychoroid confirmed via OCT, who underwent PRP. Post-PRP, he had reduced vision due to exudative RD. His vision improved upon the resolution of the exudative RD after three weeks. Pachychoroid is known to be associated with PDR. In the presence of pachychoroid, PRP-induced inflammation overwhelms the retinal pigment epithelium due to preexisting choroidal thickening, leading to exudative RD. These cases highlight how the identification of pachychoroid before laser PRP can help in predicting exudative RD as a post-procedure complication.
