Intractable Elevated Intraocular Pressure during Plaque Brachytherapy for Posterior Choroidal Tumors: A Case Report.
Article in Ocular oncology and pathology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Uncontrolled elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) during brachytherapy for posterior choroidal tumors is unreported. We present 2 patients who both experienced intractable elevated IOP during plaque brachytherapy. Case Presentation: Both patients experienced persistent elevated IOP unresponsive to all pressure-lowering agents following surgery that included transvitreal retinochoroidal biopsy and ruthenium-106 plaque application for posterior choroidal tumors in the superior quadrants. During plaque placement in patient 1, a large, dilated vortex vein was observed in the area where the plaque was to be placed. After plaque removal in both patients, IOP normalized without the need for additional pressure-lowering therapy. Conclusion: We hypothesize that the clinical presentation in both patients was primarily attributable to two factors: first, pre-existing venous congestion and, second, the application of a plaque, which obstructed a superior vortex vein. This left the remaining vortex veins unable to compensate for the obstruction, leading to intractable IOP during plaque brachytherapy.
