Diffuse bilateral macular edema associated with omidenepag isopropyl in phakic eyes after laser iridotomy: a case report.

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
backgroundOmidenepag isopropyl is a selective prostanoid prostaglandin E receptor2 agonist; its association with macular edema has mainly been identified in pseudophakic eyes. Herein, we report a case of diffuse bilateral macular edema caused by omidenepag isopropyl use in phakic eyes with a history of laser peripheral iridotomy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 63-year-old man diagnosed with primary angle closure glaucoma OU was prescribed omidenepag isopropyl. He had undergone laser iridotomy approximately 3 years prior to the omidenepag isopropyl prescription. After 4 months of using omidenepag isopropyl, he presented with blurred vision OU. Cirrus optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed diffuse macular edema OU. Omidenepag isopropyl usage was discontinued, and bromfenac sodium hydrate was administered twice daily. After 2 months, the patient's visual discomfort improved, and a subsequent OCT examination confirmed a resolution of the macular edema.
conclusionsWe report a case of diffuse bilateral macular edema development after omidenepag isopropyl use in a patient with glaucoma who had undergone bilateral laser peripheral iridotomy. This case demonstrates that macular edema can develop following the use of omidenepag isopropyl, even in phakic eyes. Notably, unlike most previous reports where the edema was typically cystoid in nature, this case showed diffuse retinal thickening with a preserved retinal contour. Given diffuse macular edema may affect the measurement of circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) thickness, caution is warranted whenever the use of omidenepag isopropyl in the management of glaucoma is considered.
