Giant retinal telangiectasia after ophthalmic plaque radiation 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: Radiation retinopathy is a known complication of plaque brachytherapy, characterized by progressive retinal vasculature damage. This study describes the clinical course of two cases of late post-radiation giant retinal telangiectasias, discovered in patients treated with radiation for choroidal melanomas. Methods: A single center chart review revealed two patients with giant retinal telangiectasis. Each patient had been treated with palladium-103 ( Results: Giant retinal telangiectasias were associated with pre-retinal hemorrhages, exudates, and edema occurring 7 and 9 years after irradiation, with macular telangiectasia exhibiting a more fulminant course. It required both laser photocoagulation and periodic intravitreal steroid therapy; both received intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections. Treatment was given based on both telangiectasia activity and other radiation-induced ocular morbidities. Conclusions: Giant retinal telangiectasias are a rare complication that may occur after ophthalmic plaque radiation therapy.
