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

importance of the fieldAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) are two major causes of blindness. In these disorders, growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are upregulated, leading to either enhanced vascular permeability or proliferation of endothelium. While corticosteroid therapies available at present suffer from side effects including cataracts and elevated intraocular pressure, anti-VEGF antibody therapies require frequent intravitreal injections, a procedure that can potentially lead to retinal detachment or endophthalmitis. Thus, there is a need to develop safe, sustained release therapeutic approaches for treating AMD and DR. AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW: This review discusses the pharmacological basis for using celecoxib, an anti-inflammatory drug capable of selectively inhibiting cycloxygenase 2, in treating AMD and DR. In addition, this article discusses the safety, delivery advantage and efficacy of celecoxib by transscleral retinal delivery, a periocular delivery approach that is less invasive to the globe compared with intravitreal injections. WHAT THE READER WILL GAIN: The reader will gain insights into the development of a pharmacological agent and a sustained release delivery system for treating DR and AMD. Further, the reader will gain insights into the influence of eye physiology including pigmentation and disease states such as DR on retinal drug delivery. TAKE HOME MESSAGE: Transscleral sustained delivery of anti-inflammatory agents is a viable option for treating retinal disorders.
