Photocoagulation for Diabetic Macular Edema
Abstract
To the Editor. —In the December 1985 issue of theArchiveswe published data from the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) that demonstrated that focal photocoagulation of "clinically significant" diabetic macular edema substantially reduces the risk of visual loss.1As part of the ongoing monitoring of the 23 clinics in this study, we discovered that one of our clinics was not carefully following the study protocol. As a consequence, their data cannot be considered comparable with data from the other clinics. No data from this clinic will be included in any future ETDRS analyses or publications. We have reproduced all of the figures and tables presented in the December 1985 article after deleting the data from this clinic and find essentially no changes in our published results (Table). For example, the Figure shows the comparison of the percentage of eyes that experienced visual loss of 15 or more letters

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
