Long-term evolution of retinal atrophy after focal laser photocoagulation of telangiectatic capillaries: LyoMAC3 study.

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
objectiveTo assess the evolution of retinal atrophy secondary to focal laser photocoagulation (FLP) for telangiectatic capillaries (TelCaps) in patients with diabetic macular oedema (DMO) or macular oedema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (MERVO).
methodsA multicentre retrospective study was conducted in DMO or MERVO patients who underwent at least one FLP session for TelCaps followed for 36 months after FLP. The post-FLP horizontal diameter and surface area of atrophic scars were measured by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and on the OCT infrared image, respectively. The degree of atrophy was quantified on the OCT B-scan.
resultsSixty-nine eyes of 61 patients were included, corresponding to 86 laser scars analysed. The mean scar diameter increased from 315 ± 162 µm at month 1 (M1) to 350 ± 167 µm at M36 (mean increase: 35 µm, p < 0.001). The mean scar area increased from 0.10 ± 0.09 mm
conclusionThe size of retinal atrophy secondary to FLP for TelCaps increases significantly over time. Moreover, retinal atrophy undergoes phenotypic changes. Therefore, it seems imperative to respect a laser impact-free perifoveolar safety zone.
