Intravitreal dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex®) findings over time: ultrasound and ultra-widefield fundus photography.
Article in International journal of retina and vitreous, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundOzurdex® (Allergan®, AbbVie Company, North Chicago, Illinois, EUA), is composed of 0.7 mg of dexamethasone, fused in a solid biodegradable PLGA polymer, whose degradation occurs naturally in the vitreous cavity, usually in six months after its application.
methodsIn this study, we included patients aged ≥ 18 years with one or two eyes who had an indication for Ozurdex
resultsThe B-scan showed the implant initially, at the D0 visit, as a well-delimited and homogeneously highly reflective linear and continuous structure. On D45, Ozurdex
conclusionsConsidering implant dimensions, the change in length over time was more evident than the change in thickness. In all the cases where visualization was possible, positive correlations with B-scan findings were found despite changes in patient position. These alterations evidenced in the Ozurdex® implant over time may be related to the degradation of the glucose polymer structure.
