A Challenging Approach: Iris Neovascularization and Vitreous Hemorrhage 40 Years after Treatment of Retinal Giant Tear Detachment.

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
Background: Iris neovascularization and vitreous hemorrhages are typical sequels of ischemic retinopathies. Here, we report about a patient who developed marked iris neovascularization without signs of posterior retinal ischemia. Case Presentation: A 56-year-old patient developed marked iris neovascularization after surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment due to a giant retinal tear had been performed 40 years earlier. With repeatedly applied intravitreal injections of an anti-VEGF drug being unsuccessful, anterior retinal cryocoagulations with deep indentation by the cryoprobe to somehow touch and coagulate the detached anterior flap of giant tear were carried out. Subsequently, the vitreous hemorrhage cleared without any further intervention, and iris neovascularization subsided. Retinal fluorescein angiogram did not reveal signs of ischemia of the attached central retina. Conclusion: Marked iris neovascularization can disappear after applying peripheral retinal cryocoagulation and laser coagulation. It may lead to the question whether neovascular AMD, potentially associated with macular ischemia, might theoretically be addressable by ablative procedures of the peripheral retina.
