Retinal vascularization from a new angle: A systematic review of temporal retinal vessel angles in familial exudative vitreoretinopathy.

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
purposeRetinal temporal vessel angles (TVA) could function as a clinical marker to reflect the structural and functional integrity of the macular region. We aimed to systematically search and appraise all literature investigating the association between temporal vessel angles (TVA) and familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR).
methodsA systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. We identified articles examining the association between TVA and FEVR by systematically searching PubMed, Medline, EMBASE and SCOPUS, on January 15, 2024. Additional studies were located through hand searching and content area expert contributions. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale.
resultsWe identified 767 papers in the initial search. After screening 333 papers, three papers were included in the review. In all three studies, the FEVR group had a significantly smaller temporal retinal vessel angle compared to healthy full-term infants or infants with retinopathy of prematurity. Narrower temporal vessel angles have been found to be associated with the presence and progression of FEVR as compared to normal controls. No consensus about the normal threshold angle has been reached.
conclusionThese data suggest that TVA measurement may serve as a clinical biomarker for the progression of FEVR. Thus, this correlation underscores the importance of TVA as a diagnostic and prognostic tool, potentially facilitating earlier intervention and more tailored treatment strategies. A standardized method of measuring TVA will enable a better understanding of its association with FEVR severity.
