Up to ten years of visual acuity outcomes in fellow eyes post-uveal melanoma treatment with iodine-125 radiotherapy, transpupillary thermotherapy, and proton beam therapy.

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
Purpose: This study aimed to assess long-term visual acuity outcomes and multiple secondary factors in fellow eyes of uveal melanoma patients treated with either iodine-125 ( Material and methods: A retrospective chart review of 213 patients treated from 2000 to 2022 was performed, with baseline and post-treatment visual acuity data collected at follow-up time points up to 10 years, when available. Paired Results: Fellow eyes VA showed no significant change up to a decade post-treatment regardless of treatment modality, except for a likely false positive improvement at 2 years post-PRT. In contrast, affected eyes had significant VA decline post-PRT and PBT, while TTT used in affected eyes demonstrated no significant change. IOP did not show any significant changes in fellow eyes. Tumor thickness and the presence of diabetes, hypertension, or coronary artery disease, did not correlate with fellow eye VA outcomes. Conclusions: This study suggests that following uveal melanoma treatment with either
