1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundInvestigation of the morphological changes by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) and the development of visual acuity in secondary macular neovascularization (sMNV) in central serous chorioretinopathy (CCS) during anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment. PATIENTS AND

methodsRetrospective study of all treatment-naïve eyes with respect to anti-VEGF treatment, in which sMNV in CCS was detected by fluorescein angiography (FA) and OCT‑A and which were treated at the University Eye Hospital Würzburg between July 2021 and the end of December 2022. All patients were treated according to a pro re nata injection regimen (PRN regimen) and followed up for 1 year.

resultsIn the study 20 eyes from 16 patients with sMNV in CCS were included. Using FA the sMNV could be confirmed in 35% of cases and using OCT‑A in 100% of cases. Morphologically, the sMNV was clearly demarcated by OCT‑A as "sea-fan"-like in 10 eyes and filamentous in 10 eyes. The decrease in area of the sMNV from 0.94 ± 1.2 mm DISCUSSION: Both FA and OCT‑A were used to detect sMNV in CCS, with OCT‑A providing more reliable detection of sMNV than FA. With OCT‑A two different types of sMNV could be detected: 1) the "sea-fan" type and 2) the filamentous MNV type. Within the first year of treatment sMNV in CCS requires a comparable number of IVOMs as the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
