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

Purpose: This case report highlights cystoid macular edema (CME) as a complication of Nd:YAG laser vitreolysis. Observations: Nd:YAG laser has become commonplace for capsulotomy, iridotomy, and selective laser trabeculoplasty, however there are limited studies on its use in vitreolysis for the disruption of symptomatic floaters. Here, we present a case of CME following Nd:YAG laser vitreolysis that was confirmed with fluorescein angiography. Conclusions and importance: CME is reported here as a complication of Nd:YAG vitreolysis. Further inquiry is needed to elucidate the true incidence of adverse events and the safety profile of the procedure. We hope to raise awareness for the treating physicians to investigate for CME if visual acuity is reduced following Nd:YAG laser vitreolysis.
