Effect of intravitreal injection on optic nerve in infants with retinopathy of prematurity: a long-term follow-up study.
Article in The British journal of ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimsTo investigate the effect of intravitreal injection (IVI) on the optic nerve in infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) during long-term follow-up.
methodsThe preterm infants included were divided into control, untreated and treated groups. The treatment group was further divided into the plus disease group and the no plus disease group. The vertical cup-to-disc ratio (C/D) was measured and compared in fundus photography at 36 weeks to 6 months of postmenstrual age (PMA) in the three groups of infants, respectively.
resultsA total of 381 eyes were included in this study. As the PMA passed from 36 weeks to 6 months, the C/Ds of the infants in all three groups increased to varying degrees, in which those of the treated group were significantly larger than those of the untreated group and the control group at all follow-up periods except at 36 weeks of PMA. In addition, in the treatment group, the C/D was significantly lower in the plus disease group than in the no-plus disease group, except at 6 months of PMA.
conclusionsThe present study found that IVI for ROP would result in an enlargement of the C/D in prematurity. The presence of plus disease was associated with an underestimation of the C/D. And the C/D in preterm infants continued to increase to varying degrees in at least 6 months of PMA.
