1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Intravitreal injection is generally regarded as safe. Many of the potential complications caused by this procedure are extremely rare and can be avoided by careful inspection beforehand and proper performance of the injection. In rare cases, however, the administered drugs may cause various pharmacological side effects. This article summarizes the safety profiles of Macugen and Lucentis from the drug approval studies and describes initial findings on possible or observed side effects after intravitreal administration of Avastin. In addition, important points to observe in order to avoid intra- and postoperative complications are provided.
